CRLF showing up as rectangles in multiline label

[Johnny V]

I have a label inside of a scrollview... Oh btw I gotta say Hello and a huge THANK YOU for developing an awesome software for those of us that are VBians. Ok back to my question. I have a label inside of a scroll view that does not get created unitil the ScrollView.Panel.Addview(). I have the labeltext being loaded via a json from a mysql database located on the net. Knowing that anything that I have told you prolly has nothing to do with my problem I still wanted to put it out there as info. So the issue that I have is the text that is showing up in the label has the CRLF showing up as rectangles. Basically I am displaying "Hello" & CRLF & "World" and my text shows up as

Hello[]
World

(the two brackets are supposed to look like a rectangle)

Any ideas on how to get rid of them? Oh I loaded the HelpScrollView tutorial and the text in that also has the rectangles in the help listing also, as the attached file shows.

Android end of line character is chr(10) (which is equal to the CRLF constant). Are you sure that you are not getting chr(10) & chr(13) (\r\n)?

Not sure. I am just using the app that you have as an example and it is putting the place holder there. It does it on both the emulator and my htc hero.

Which app?

HelpScrollView. Take a look at the pic in my first post. It shows what I have the inability to put into words. Sorry.

I believe that this application was written by klaus. Anyway the problem is most probably related to the usage of wrong end of character symbol.

Ok, thanx.

Tonight I will parse the text coming in (I'm at work and they really have a problem with me doing personal stuff here... I don't know why).

So a

lblNotes.Text= strNotes.Replace(chr(13), "")

Should clear it?

BTW Thanks for all the help.

Yes.

Thank you for your help. Worked like a charm. Wanted to follow up to say using the code above did the trick!

I did one better tho... I changed the Label to a webview and now I have all sorts of control over what I am displaying.
