How to use \ n newline in VB msgbox () ...?

Question

What is the \ n alternative (for a new line) in VB.NET MsgBox ()?

Answer 1

• for VB: vbCrLf or vbNewLine
• for VB.NET: Environment.NewLine or vbCrLf or Constants.vbCrLf

VB.NET Newline Information: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.environment.newline.aspx

Information for Environment.NewLine taken from Cody Gray and J Vermeire

Answer 2

These are the sequences of characters to create a new line:

• vbCr - carriage return (return to the beginning of the line),

• vbLf is a line (go to the next line)

• vbCrLf is a carriage return / line return (similar to pressing Enter)

I prefer vbNewLine as it is system independent ( vbCrLf may not be a new new line on some systems)

Answer 3

Use the Environment.NewLine property

Answer 4

Try using vbcrlf for a new line

 msgbox "This is how" & vbcrlf & "to get a new line" 

Answer 5

Add vbNewLine as:

 "text1" & vbNewLine & "text2" 

Answer 6

An alternative to Environment.NewLine is to use:

 Regex.Unescape("\n\tHello World\n") 

from System.Text.RegularExpressions

This avoids text without cascading strings, as you can in C #, C, java

Answer 7

Use the "vbNewLine" command

Example

 Hello & vbNewLine & "World" 

appears as Hello on one line and World on another

Answer 8

The correct format is:

 "text1" + vbNewLine + "text2" 

Answer 9

 Module MyHelpers <Extension()> Public Function UnEscape(ByVal aString As String) As String Return Regex.Unescape(aString) End Function End Module 

Using:

 console.writeline("Ciao!\n".unEscape) 

Answer 10

On my side, I created a MyMsgBox submenu replacing \ n at the ControlChars.NewLine prompt

Answer 11

The message field must end with text, not a variable

Answer 12

You can use the carriage return character (Chr (13)), the line feed character (Chr (10)) also like

 MsgBox "Message Name: " & objSymbol1.Name & Chr(13) & "Value of BIT-1: " & (myMessage1.Data(1)) & Chr(13) & "MessageCount: " & ReceiveMessages.Count 

Answer 13

A lot of the things above didn't work for me. What ultimately works

 Chr(13) 

Answer 14

msgbox ("your text is here" and "Environment.NewLine" and "more text") is an easy way. it makes no sense to make your code more complex or more generalized than you need ...
