I have a status dialog window, and newlines are getting truncated.

StatusDlg.SetMessage("test1\ntest2");

or

StatusDlg.SetStatusText("test1\ntest2");

Am I restricted to a 2 lines? (1 for each).

Thanks

Yes using the statusdlg you are restricted to 1 line for each. However you can use dialog.message instead which can have multiple lines.

What exactly are you trying to do. I might have a better solution.

I'm using a custom callback function for File.Copy, which creates a log file and outputs file copy status and other data including:

file copied
files remaining
bytes/total for each file
bytes/total for all files
percentage status

For cosmetic reasons, I was hoping to data on more than 2 lines
