Adding a new line or return to an Animation Expression

[geoffpatton]

Adding Chr(10) in an Animation Expression makes a new line.

There have been a few times this would have been useful on Text, ToolTipText, and Value animations. This will even be useful for the text of buttons even when it only has static text. no need to put a textbox over top a button just to get the return where you want it.

I just used it like this on some buttons.

'Detailed ' + Chr(10) + ".Bus 1 and 2.Name"

Displays as

Detailed

Bus 1 and 2

instead of

Detailed Bus 1 and

2

Which just looked silly.

I don't know why I never thought to try this before.

Anyway thought I would share.

BTW a carriage return Chr(13) does not do anything

Thumbs-up for this. 

It's one of those things which is documented, but may be hard to find because you don't know you have got it!
