\n

my mfc dialog listbox does not act upon \n characters. I do not see line breaks.parsing texts seems to be the only solution.i am not sure but i think i use vc2005. i am very new to ms env.

Well it would help if you could explain what you are trying to do in the listbox???

linebreaks in a listbox ?

a text like: it is rainy day\nit is rainy day. appears as
"it is rainy day||it is rainy day". instead of
it is rainy day
it is rainy day.

You can't put enters in a listbox... you can only insert items in it. Use CListBOx::AddString () to add multiple lines.

Sounds like you're using the wrong control. List boxes display and allow selection of a "list" of items. They're not designed or intended to display formatted text.

Have a look at Multi-Line ListBox
