visual c : newline format control in richtextbox

I can't seem to add a newline (/n) to get a richtextbox control to display text on successive lines. The text that I type is overwritten. How do I remedy this

My example

richTextBox->Multiline = true
richTextBox->Text = S"First line /n"
richTextBox->Text = S"Second line"

Thanks

I have tried numerous combinations of escape sequences, and none of them work

It appears what happens is that it doesn't recognize the escape sequence and just overwrites the previous line

Any suggestions would be appreciated

I tried this to no avail. Could you give me an example of how I could modify my originally posted code

Thanks

You're not using an escape sequence, that's why :-)

"/n" vs. "\n"

Hi,

Try using \r\n - sounds like you're just getting a carriage return, and not
a newline.
