CStrings & Edit Boxes

I am trying to put together 2 CStrings, display them in an edit box, and have a carriage return/line feed <CRLF> between each string. So far all of my attempts have failed miserably. This is what I am doing:

CString string1 = "This is string 1.\n ";
CString string2 = "This is string 2.";

m_string3 = string1 + string2;

UpdateData...

What I want displayed in the edit box is:

This is string 1.
This is string 2.

What I get is "This is string1.| This is string2." The | is a real dark black line. The strings are put together but I don't get the <crlf> like I want. Any suggestions? I know this has to be easier than it is.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I think you forgotten the CR in the CRLF.
CRLF consists of "\r\n" and not "\n" alone.

Hope that helps.

Yes, that was my problem. Beginners ignorance gets me every time. Thank you for replying and pointing out the errors of my ways.
