I used constants like vbLf , vbCrLf & vbCr in a MsgBox; it produces same output in a MsgBox (Text "Hai" appears in a first paragraph and a word "Welcome" appears in a next Paragraph )

MsgBox("Hai" & vbLf & "Welcome")
MsgBox ("Hai" & vbCrLf & "Welcome")
MsgBox("Hai" & vbCr & "Welcome")

I know vbLf , vbCrLf & vbCr are used for print and display functions.

I want to know the Difference between the vbLf , vbCrLf & vbCr constants.

 Constant   Value               Description
 ----------------------------------------------------------------
 vbCr       Chr(13)             Carriage return
 vbCrLf     Chr(13) & Chr(10)   Carriage return–linefeed combination
 vbLf       Chr(10)             Line feed

  • vbCr : - return to line beginning
    Represents a carriage-return character for print and display functions.

  • vbCrLf : - similar to pressing Enter
    Represents a carriage-return character combined with a linefeed character for print and display functions.

  • vbLf : - go to next line
    Represents a linefeed character for print and display functions.
