Aygarp,

How exactly are you adding the text to the Control in the first place?

If you simply Append the new Text to the old text with something like;

ctrl.setText(ctrl.getText() @ %newText);

It should work ...

PK, if I understand correctly, try doing this:

ctrl.setText("Line1\nLine2\nLine3);

The \n is replaced with a newline
