[.net] How to give line number in a textBox?
Author
1. I want to generate some kind of a log file using a multiline textBox and I have to give line number to it so that it is clear for user to know the detailed events.
How to do that?
2. Everytime there is an event occured, I want to add a new line in the textBox. How to do that? I've tried the textBox->AppendText but it cannot create a new line, it places the appended text next to the last text.
How to solve this?
Thank you very much..

For every line inserted, prepend a padded line number.
If that's ugly, consider using some other control, like a multi-column list control.

If you're not including "\r\n" before the string to be appended, then you should be. For reasons I've never fully understood, a single '\n' won't do it, the carriage return is necessary.

So how to combine "\r\n" with this:
i = 1
for each line
line = i++ + line
How?
And how to make the line number to be not selectable?

Are you asking for a source-code solution that you can copy/paste?
Or are you asking us to explain the concept of string concatenation?
To make the line number not selectable, you'd be better off using a different approach all together, "like a multi-column list control" (to quote Zao).

No, everything is ok for me. If there is source code, then I will use it, if not it's also ok. I just confused.
But how to integrate the multi-column list control with the textBox?
Thank you.
