Description John Arthorne CLA 2002-03-16 14:16:11 EST 
Build 20020312

I'm working on some code that creates an exception with a long error message.  I 
can't find a way to split the message over multiple lines when it appears in the 
details area.  If I use \n, it appears as a box, indicating an unprintable 
character.  In other contexts, such as dialog content areas and wizard pages, \n 
correctly splits the line.

If there is currently a way to accomplish this, please advise.  Ideally, I would 
just write the message on a single line, and the details box would take care of 
wrapping where appropriate.

You can get multiple lines br creating a multi status - each line in the 
dialog is a singlestaus line.
