I have a form which includes a TextBox. When I run the program two things are happening which puzzle me.
First, even though I have the "Scrollbars" property set to 3-Both, yet when the text to be displayed in the TextBox exceeds the size of the box, no scrollbars are displayed. The text just runs off the end of the top line in the TextBox.
Second, I have this line of code:
txtDisplay.Text = "GetAbsolutePathName: " & _
mFileSysObj.GetAbsolutePathName( _
filFileBox.Path) & vbNewLine & _
"GetDriveName: " & mFileSysObj.GetDriveName( _
filFileBox.Path) & vbNewLine & _
"GetParentFolderName: " & _
mFileSysObj.GetParentFolderName( _
filFileBox.Path) & vbNewLine & _
"GetTempName: " & mFileSysObj.GetTempName
I expect to get a CRLF for the "vbNewLine", but I get "||". Can vbNewLine be something other than CRLF? Any ideas why I see what I see? Maybe one fix will resolve both problems. I keep thinking that maybe there is someplace where vbNewLine is defined (and can be redefined).
