'How to use \n new line in VB msgbox() ...?

What is the alternative to \n (for new line) in a MsgBox()?

Solution 1:^[1]

Try using vbcrlf for a newline

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

Solution 2:^[2]

These are the character sequences to create a new line:

vbCr is the carriage return (return to line beginning),
vbLf is the line feed (go to next line)
vbCrLf is the carriage return / line feed (similar to pressing Enter)

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

Solution 3:^[3]

Use the Environment.NewLine property

Solution 4:^[4]

Add a vbNewLine as:

"text1" & vbNewLine & "text2"

Solution 5:^[5]

An alternative to Environment.NewLine is to use :

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

from System.Text.RegularExpressions

This allows you to escape Text without Concatenating strings as you can in C#, C, java

Solution 6:^[6]

The correct format is :

"text1" + vbNewLine + "text2"

Solution 7:^[7]

Use the command "vbNewLine"

Example

Hello & vbNewLine & "World"

will show up as Hello on one line and World on another

Solution 8:^[8]

You can use Environment.NewLine OR vbCrLF OR vbNewLine

MsgBox($"Hi!{Environment.NewLine}I'M HERE")

Solution 9:^[9]

You can use carriage return character (Chr(13)), a linefeed character (Chr(10)) also like

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

Solution 10:^[10]

Module MyHelpers
    <Extension()>
    Public Function UnEscape(ByVal aString As String) As String

       Return Regex.Unescape(aString)

    End Function
End Module

Usage:

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

Solution 11:^[11]

On my side I created a sub MyMsgBox replacing \n in the prompt by ControlChars.NewLine

Solution 12:^[12]

A lot of the stuff above didn't work for me. What did end up working is

Chr(13)

Solution 13:^[13]

msgbox "This is the first line" & vbcrlf & "and this is the second line"

or in .NET msgbox "This is the first line" & Environment.NewLine & "and this is the second line"

Solution 14:^[14]

do not forget to set the Multiline property to true in textbox

Solution 15:^[15]

msgbox("your text here" & Environment.NewLine & "more text") is the easist way. no point in making your code harder or more ocmplicated than you need it to be...

Solution 16:^[16]

This work for me: MessageBox.Show("YourString" & vbcrlf & "YourNewLineString")

Solution 17:^[17]

The message box must end with a text and not with a variable
