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?
