I have a function which asks for the user to check a box to send an e-mail:

function OnFirstUIAfter()
STRING szTitle, szMsg4, szMsg1, szMsg2, szNote, szOption1, szOption2;
STRING szOperation, szFileName, szParameters, szDirectory;
NUMBER bOpt1, bOpt2;

begin
Disable(STATUSEX);

ShowObjWizardPages(NEXT);
bOpt1 = FALSE;
bOpt2 = FALSE;
switch(SELECTED_LANGUAGE)
case(ISLANG_FRENCH_STANDARD):
szOption1= "Cocher pour envoyer un courriel nous avisant de \nla mise-à-jour de voitre site.";
case(ISLANG_FRENCH_CANADIAN):
szOption1= "Check here to send an e-mail to X to confirm \nyour site has been upgraded to version X.";
default:
szOption1= "Click here to send an e-mail to X to confirm \nyour site has been upgraded to version X.";
endswitch;
szOption2= "";
szMsg1 = SdLoadString(IFX_SDFINISH_MSG1);
SdFinishEx(szTitle, szMsg1, szMsg2,szOption1, szOption2, bOpt1, bOpt2);

My first option was to use the Table String to create a @STRING and use it in szOption1. It would however not carry on two lines even with \n in it (I would get two black vertical lines and then it would cut off). I then tried the switch seen above just to see if it would change anything from using the string in the string table but the result was the same.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I've only used \n in message boxes, but it's probably just that the pre-defined SdFinishEx dialog doesn't support it.

I wanted to check the function at support.installshield.com/kb but recently they removed the online documentation from the knowledge base ...

There are very few dialog boxes that support multiline text.
Most do have a maximum length for the textfiled contents, so it's sometimes difficult to get the setup the way it is supposed to be ...
