Android Question IDE question, how to handle long texts

[Daniel-White]

I know this is very trivial question, How I can put all the text easy to read without need scroll to right.

I saw some examples somewhere, but I did not remember how is the sintaxis.
Something like :

Msgbox("This is a long but very long text with too much bla la la bla bla bla bla etc etc
and continue here with the text bla bla end ", "My title")

If I am not wrong, we can use this symbol somewhere _

Something like this ? Note the & because you have to concatenate the strings

Msgbox("This is a long but very long text" _
& " with too much bla la la bla bla bla bla etc etc" _
& " and continue here with the text bla bla end " _
, "My title")

Thanks you Indeed.

You have also the Wordwrapp option.

In the IDE menu Tools / IDE Options select the Font Picker.

In the Font Picker check WordWrap

The correct answer:

Msgbox($"This is a long but very long text
with too much bla la la bla bla bla bla etc etc
and continue here with the text bla bla end"$, "My Title")

Excuse me but : is it preferable to do it like this ? (Reference to correct answer)

@Erel .. should string closure not be ' "$ '

The above code throws.. Error Parsing Program ... String is not Closed (Missing "$)

This is OK

myText = $"This is a long but very long text
   with too much bla la la bla bla bla bla etc etc
   And Continue here with the text bla bla end "$

Yes. It is simpler and is also more maintainable.
