Re: Multiple lines in statusbar

Linux is using just '\n' (LF = 0xA) character for end of line, but MS Windows - '\r\n' (CR + LF = 0xD + 0xA) characters. Guess, STL lib defines that in std::eol when you are using std::cout, std::cerr output streams. -andrew ___ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list

Well, I'm using C, not C++ ;-) I know that there are differences between Unix/Linux and Windows on how newline is defined, but \n is exactly saying newline, not how it is implemented on the particular platform. According to the C-standard (ISO-C99): cite \n (newline) Moves the active position to the initial position of the next line. /cite And in fact if you open a file in text-mode on Windows, \n is converted to CR+LF - that is one of the ideas behind using \n and text-mode. So I can't really see why \n should not be correct when I write a string to the statusbar, just as well as it works correct when it is a label. And it is a disaster for portability, if \n should be \r\n on Windows and even something else on Mac.

Did you test it, just to sort out if the issue is the \n not automatically being translated into \r\n or not.

So it seems that statusbar on Windows has some problems handling both \r and \n!
