Setting the text
To set the text in a textbox you use the following syntax:
TextBox1.Text = Text
Where Text is a string containing the text to be used. The code below
sets Text1's text to Hello!
TextBox1.Text = "Hello"
If you want to have more than one line of text in a text box you need to set
its multiline property to True. Because text boxes uses a carriage return (Chr(10)
+ Chr(13)) you need to use vbCrLf as the return text, instead of Chr(vbKeyReturn)
as you might think. The following example will put the text
An error occured
Please try again
into TextBox1.
TextBox1.Text = "An Error occured" & vbCrLf & "Please
try again"
Note that if you are running a long section of code, the text box will not
be updated until there is 'free time' in windows. To give the textbox time to
update, use the DoEvents function:
For i = 0 To 10000
Text1.Text = "Loop number" & i
DoEvents 'give windows a chance to breath!
