SetWindowText problem - please look at that

[Lost User]

Can anybody help in this problem: There's an edit control - hwnd_edit. SetWindowText(hwnd_edit, "A line #1\nHere goes next line"); I need to do this: |-------------------| |A line #1 | |Here goes next line| | | | | |-------------------| Bus what's up? I see the following: |---------------------------------| |A line #1[]Here goes next line | | | | | |---------------------------------| [] is a small square How to deal with it?

Try a \r\n Make sure that the style multiline is checked Papa while (TRUE) Papa.WillLove ( Bebe ) ;

\n\r doesn't work - now there are two squares instead of CR LF. Multiline is certainly checked XPiS

Try \r\n, or even \r allone. Jaime

As far as I know, nothing like that will cause a multil-line title bar. Simply because Windows is meant to be user-friendly (read: consistent). I dont think using owner-draw for the title bar can accomplish multi-line title bars either. I suggest u change your strategy and display the required data in an appropriate place. Again, one of the reasons Windows is popular is because of the GUI consistency it maintains. Bikram Singh

Where is there mention of a multi-line title bar? Unless the OP changed his post, he wanted a multi-line edit box. Yes?
