Has anyone figured out how to enter multi line text in the Properties
window? Say for example you wanted the Text property of a label set
to the following:

Customer
Name

I have no problem doing this programmatically but it seems there
should be some way to do it using the IDE too.

Thanks,

Mark

What version are you using? I'm using the Whidbey Beta which is
quite different from 2003. In Whidbey, the Text property has a
dropdown that will allow you to enter CRLF's by just typing them.
I cannot recall if there is a similar feature in 2003 though. The only
other suggestion I can make is to try using Notepad or other text
editor, enter the text and then copy-paste it into the properties. I
don't know for sure that it will work, but it might.
