displaying Text in a scrolling text box...

-----------------------------------

How would you display text in a scrolling text box without either overwriting the existing text inside the text box or just being stuck right beside it? I know that calling...
txtDisplay.Text = "woot"
txtDisplay.Text = "lol"
...will just output lol because it will overwrite the existing string inside the text box, but calling...
txtDisplay.Text = "lol"
txtDisplay.Text = txtDisplay.Text + " omg"
...will put lol omg, but i want it to jump donw to the next line in the scrolling text box.

thanks guys!

Sorry for the double post, but i figured it out, i need to use the command vbNewLine while declaring th text of the textbox...
txtDisplay.Text = "lol" + vbNewLine
txtDisplay.Text = txtDisplay.Text + "omg" + vbNewLine
There, now others know how to do it.

Glad to see you figured it out. I'll just add for other people that to use vbNewLine you must ensure that the property on your textbox is set to multiline enabled.
