You don't want to mess with the ascii codes. Use the built-in codes. Here is some code where I am formatting a TextBox in VB.net.
MetrixDisplayContent = _
Space(5) _
& "TICKER: " _
& DirectCast( lbReportIndex.SelectedItem, DataRowView) _
("Ticker").ToString() _
& vbCrLf _
& Space(5) _
& DirectCast( lbReportIndex.SelectedItem, DataRowView) _
("Name").ToString() _
& vbCrLf _
& Space(5) _
Now, Above you can see the Vb.net statement that causes a line feed and
carage return, likely what you want. So, if you want to check for 20
characters in a string and then add a line feed you can do it in many ways.
You can iterate, use a for next loop or something, counting characters and
moving each into a new string field. When you get to 20 add the carriage
return literal as you see above and then clear the substring for the next
line. As you fill each line add it into your textbox. Another way would be
to use the SubString method and pick off a substring of 20 characters at a
time by just indexing the starting index of the method and then adding the
substring into your textbox. These are the 2 easiest ways I can think of of
doing what you want. If you are creating the initial document you could just
add a seperator like a colon or some other character you do not expect to
use in the document as a line seperator after each 20 characters you type
but that would be hard on you when typing it up. My code is pretty old,
perhaps 5 years old so there might be a newer statement than the vbCrLf
statement but it works fine in all my VB.net apps.

A Line feed is VbLf or Chr(10), a carriage return is VbCr or Chr(13), a form feed is VbFf or Chr(12), a tab is VbTab or Chr(5), and a carriage return/line feed sequence is VbCrLf or Chr(13) & Chr(10).Jamal On 5/7/2010 4:55 AM, Darko Pogačić wrote:You can use vbCrLf constant, but I am not sure which ascii value represents line by vbCrLf constant, but I am using chr() function, and representing ascii value 13, its ascii symbol for new line recognized by microsoft Word.

I am interesting how to make Visual Basic code to make a new line after a number of characters (EG:5). I have a RichTextBox control, and text inside. I want to make a Visual Basic 6 code, wich o n each 30 characters, puts the rest of text into a new line.__________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
