SYMPTOMSWhen an application runs under Windows 3.0, text in a message box or in a child-window control appears on two lines, as desired. However, under Windows 3.1, the same text appears as one line with two vertical bars at the position where the line break should appear. CAUSEThe character sequence "\n\r" was used to separate the two lines of text. RESOLUTIONModify the text to use the character sequence "\r\n" to break lines of text. MORE INFORMATIONIn an application developed for the Windows environment, various text strings can contain an embedded carriage return-linefeed pair to display the text on two separate lines. For example, an application can send the following message to a multiline edit control in a dialog box to display the string "This is a test" on two lines with a break between the words "a" and "test":
Under Windows 3.0, both the "\r\n" and "\n\r" strings create a new line in
the output text. However, under Windows 3.1, only the "\r\n" string creates
a new line in the output. The "\n\r" string creates the two vertical bars
previously discussed.
