Question how to display text files
Hi all,

I am new to VB. Please give me couple pointers.

Is there object for displaying text file with scroll bar?

Related questions would be how do I display multiple lines in the TextBox? Not wrap lines... actually two seperated lines. I know I can't do "\n".

Thanks

The easiest way would be to put the text in a richtextbox control and use it.
To get the scrollbars on it use it's "scrollbars" property.
i.e.
RichTextBox1.ScrollBars = rtfBoth

To get line feeds instead of using "\n" use vbCrLf which is the vb constant for carriage return & line feed.
