Embedding NL in text in VB

Post #172,759 by broomberg 9/4/04 9:01:50 PM Reply	Embedding NL in text in VB Is it possible? I want a multi-line tooltip box to show up but the instructions for putting NL into text show how to do it programmatically, which means I can't use the properties box to set it.

Post #172,763 by broomberg 9/4/04 9:44:12 PM Reply	Yes but In order to use a constant to have to string thing together such as: "This is line 1" & ControlChars.CrLf & _ "This is line 2" Which is how I did it. I used the ToolTip1.SetToolTip(control, tip) in the Form_Load event. This works but seems the wrong place to do it. But you can't specify quotes strings and constants this way when placing text in the ToolTip Properties entry. In C or Perl I would say: "This is line 1\\nThis is line 2" Does VB have the ability to embed these types of characters directly in strings?

I first figured out how to do it in VB based on some Perl documentation that I was reading. That was the point where I realized that learning Perl was helping my VB.
