VB5 to Pic VB5 Help

[rsocor01]

I use VB6, but I am not familiar with VB5. However, they should be more or less the same.

Try a Label box instead of a Text box. The following code works fine for me, because I just took it from one of my working VB6 programs.

Label1.Caption = byte1 & vbcrlf & byte2 & vbcrlf & byte3

If you still insist in using a Text box, then the following might help you. This quote is taken from a VB6 help file.

To display multiple lines of text in a TextBox control, set the MultiLine property to True. If a multiple-line TextBox doesn't have a horizontal scroll bar, text wraps automatically even when the TextBox is resized. To customize the scroll bar combination on a TextBox, set the ScrollBars property.

Scroll bars will always appear on the TextBox when its MultiLine property is set to True, and its ScrollBars property is set to anything except None (0).

If you set the MultiLine property to True, you can use the Alignment property to set the alignment of text within the TextBox. The text is left-justified by default. If the MultiLine property is False, setting the Alignment property has no effect.

I tried your example and it worked but try this and let me know if it works for you


label1.Caption = byte1 & byte2 & byte3 & vbcrlf

now go through this 5 times and see if it goes to the next line or stays on one line

[rsocor01]

It stays on one line. Remember you are changing the caption of the label object.

Robert No I don't understand what your saying changing the caption Im lost
I want byte1 byte2 and byte3 on one line, then the next line down the same thing this is serial data so byte1-3 are different values on each line, there just being used for formatting a string value so the layout is simple and easy.

l_gaminde,

For a Label, do the following,

Set the Multiline property of the label object to true. Also, make the scrollbars visible if you want to. End your command line with & vbcrlf like in the code that you posted

label1.Caption = byte1 & byte2 & byte3 & vbcrlf

For a Textbox, do the following,

• Set Multiline to true
• Set ReadOnly to true
• Write your code like the following

textbox1.text = byte1 & byte2 & byte3 & VbCrLf             'This is the first line
textbox1.AppendText(byte1 & byte2 & byte3 & VbCrLf)   'These are the following lines

I'm not in front of my personal PC, so I haven't tested this code but it should work. Let me know if you have problems.

ok the first one doesn't work, thats what I have been wondering about it sits on line one and changes per each set of inputs and never drops down vbcrlf chr(10) or 13 nothing works on the end of the line ?? works in the middle like your test but not at the end.
I will try the append thing now it will not read the first line textbox1.text again because I may have 30 to 100 or more lines to download
