Display semicolor and newline in excel vba

  Asked By: Adelisa    Date: Dec 09    Category: MS Office    Views: 959
  

Display the sentences in textbox.

Example:

The machine's IP address is "10.12.13.24".
I love this IP.

Sample code Code:
-------------------
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
//* Show the sentences in the textbox *//
Private Sub cmdShow_Click()

Dim shtDVD As Worksheet
Dim strName As String

Set shtDVD = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(1)

txtShow.Text = "The machine's IP address is "10.12.13.24"." &
vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "I love this IP."

End Sub
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Result:
-----------

(i) Got Error. If I replaced the "10.12.12.24" to 10.12.13.24 then it
is ok....May I know how can I display "10.12.13.24" instead of
10.12.13.24.

(ii) May I know how can I display my sentences as above without the
vbnewline because if I'm using vbnewline the code will proceed long
and messy:-
May I write my code as below?
*****************************************************************
Private Sub cmdShow_Click()

Dim shtDVD As Worksheet
Dim strName As String
Set shtDVD = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(1)

txtShow.Text = "The machine's IP address is "10.12.13.24"."
txtShow.Text = "I love this IP."

End Sub

First: Displaying "10.12.13.24"
Remember you're using quotes (") to delimit the string.
that is kind-of like opening and closing parenths "()"
the first indicates the beginning of the string:
txtShow.Text = "
the second occurence indicates the end  of the string:
txtShow.Text = "The machine's IP address  is "
the compiler gets confused when trying to evaluate the data following
the closing parenthesis:
txtShow.Text = "The machine's IP address is "10.12.13.24
To include "embedded" quotes, use two:
txtShow.Text = "The machine's IP address is ""10.12.13.24""."

Next:
You're not going to get away with including the vbnewline in some manner.
You COULD save the double-newline as:
DL = vbnewline & vbnewline

Next, you could save the text  in a string variable:
MsgStr = "The machine's IP address is """ & IPAddr & ""."
MsgStr = MsgStr & DL & "I love this IP."

txtShow.Text = MsgStr

but calling txtshow.txt twice will result in two userforms being launched,
not
concatenating into one.
