CString Problerm

A new line in the text? Use
\n, there's others too like\tfor tab,\\for '\', etc. Look these up (or 'escape sequences') in MSDN for more info

Thanks I've look at MSDN and you were right. but when I want to type like this CString welcome_string = "Hello\ \n World"; so that Hello and World are in different line, there was a "newline is constant" error. :confused: Newbies

A lot of thanks for your reply:) BUT the output was Hello|World and not Hello World this was my code
void CMyView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC) { CString welcome_string = "Hello\n\ World"; pDC->TextOut(0,0,welcome_string); }Newbies -
Thanks:rose: Is this means only messagebox can handle "\n"? How about editbox or listbox ia a dialog? Newbies

I'm afraid TextOut couldn't handle the "\n", but MessageBox() can. Try MessageBox(welcome_string); and see.

TextOut()can not handle newlines, but DrawText() can. If you want to output multi line text useDrawText(). HTH
