iLogic MessageBox

[Fleagle8t]

Hi Folks,

I hope someone can help me out?....

I'm puzzled as to how to get more than one line of text into a Message Box if this is possible.

Thanks

For VB language, vbcrlf stands for carriage return, so you could try it as below:

My_Message="Line1"+vbCrLf+"Line2"

MessageBox.Show (My_Message, "My Message")

good luck!

Hi Fleagle8t,

In addition to jingyi.liu suggestion, you will often see & vblf & used to get the same result:

MessageBox.Show ("Line1" & vblf & "Line2", "My Message")

As as added note, I often like to use a space and underscore in the code to add a line return in the code, for example:

MessageBox.Show ("Some text here used for Line1" _
& vblf & "More text here used for Line2" _
& vblf & "More text here used for Line3" _
& vblf & "" _ 'nothing for line4
& vblf & "More text here used for Line5", "My Message")

 

Using vbNewLine will work also:

MessageBox.Show ("Some text here used for Line1" _
& vbNewLine  & "More text here used for Line2" _
& vbNewLine & "More text here used for Line3" _
& vbNewLine & "" _ 'nothing for line4
& vbNewLine  & "More text here used for Line5", "My Message")

 I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
