Newline in Label Text

[Okeno Palmer]

Greets all, How do you get a newline in Text property of a Label control? I've tried \n and \r\n but neither work. Any suggestions? .:. Keno .:.

You would have to owner-draw (i.e., override OnPaint) to accomplish such a thing. A common work-around is to use a multi-line TextBox with ReadOnly set to true and no border. Then you can use Environment.NewLine (portable code should never hard-code carriage returns and/or line feeds).

Thanks Heath! I wonder why this functionality isn't available though, If I remeber correctly this was possible in VC wasn't it? .:. Keno .:.
