In Visual Basic.net I managed to get this little arrow symbol ↵
in the TextBox some time ago, but lost it.
Is this font dependent? I used Consolas and Courier New. Do i need a RichTextBox or something else?
I tried chr(10)
and chr(13)
, environment.newline
and vbLf
, vbCr
and what else but I'm lost.
I just want to have that special character to be visible for "debug purposes". My system is UTF capable.
The TextBox
does not display unprintable characters, like most text editors can do.
You can, however, simply insert the ↵
symbol yourself, be replacing each newline character with ↵
and a newline character.
Example:
Dim f = New Form()
Dim txt = New TextBox() With { .MultiLine = True, .Dock = DockStyle.Fill}
Dim text = <text>This is just
some multine text
to be displayed</text>.Value
txt.Text = Regex.Replace(text, "(\n\r|\r|\n)", "↵$1")
f.Controls.Add(txt)
f.ShowDialog()
Result:
