Adding lines of texts

hey guys,

how do i add lines of texts in a textbox then do a carriage return?

in other words, i have textbox1 and textbox2. when the user types something in textbox1 and press a button, it appears in textbox2. when the user does it again, the text(whatever the user inputs) appears under the first text in textbox2.
i have multiline set to true.

thanks

Use the ampersand (the & character) to attach two string variables:

Code:

'The ampersand (&) denotes string concatenation
Text2.Text = SomeString & SomeOtherString

Just curious, what version of VB are you using?

Actually, it's way too late in the evening, I've missed something. The carriage return character in VB is vbCrLf. So, you would want to do:

Code:

'Should stick another line underneath the ones already there
Text2.Text = Text2.Text & vbCrLf & Text1.Text
