displaying line by line

[Member 784648]

i have problem in displaying a single line in different line...

my code is

 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Me.TextBox5.Text = Me.ListView1.Items.Count
    Dim oFile As System.IO.File

Huh... Reading the whole post makes me dizzy..... x_x...

You can use

WriteLine("testing1\n\n\n\n")

to enter multiple line break though instead of keep calling the WriteLine()... :)

Anyway, the word "condition" is wrongly spell as well... it's "condition" not "condetion"...

Hi
I think I see what your issue is if your text is over a certain value in length you wish to put in a line break but of course not in the middle of a word!
Try something like this:

Sub InsertLineBreaks(ByRef MyInput As String, ByRef MaxLength As Integer, ByRef oWrite As IO.StringWriter)
        Dim MyOutput, sChar As String
        Dim i, x As Integer

        If Len(MyInput) > MaxLength Then
            i = MaxLength
            x = 0
            Do While x < MyInput.Length
                'get inital char at maxlength
                sChar = MyInput.Chars(i)
                Do Until sChar = " "
                    'move back until we hit a space
                    sChar = MyInput.Chars(i)
                    i = i - 1
                Loop
                'output = start of string to the space we've found
                MyOutput = MyInput.Substring(x, i - x)
                oWrite.WriteLine(MyOutput)
                'move start to next string
                x = i + 1
                i = x + MaxLength 'move end so we have max length and repeat proccess
                If i > MyInput.Length Then
                    'i is outside of string length so rest of text will fit.
                    MyOutput = MyInput.Substring(x)
                    oWrite.WriteLine(MyOutput)
                    Exit Do
                End If
            Loop
        Else
            oWrite.WriteLine(MyInput)
        End If
    End Sub
