CustomTable cells with multiline contents

[oransen]

Manually you can edit the cell of a custom table in an IDW and put a carriage return in, and the cell shows the two lines.

If you put a \n or \r in the string of a C++ call to...

pCell->put_Value ("1st line\n2nd line")

...the \n is removed and the whole of the text is put on one line.

So manually it works, but I can't find out programatically how to do it. Is there a special code which says "new line in this cell"?

Another point is that if the string does contain a \n or \r then the height of the columns changes, even though the string stays one line.

Hi, I tried in VBA with vbCrLf, it can work. So in theory, it can also support ,multi-lines with C++ Have you tried with /r/n together. This is the equivalent token I know.

Magic! \r\n in the C++ string gives me the new line in an individual custom table cell. Thanks!
