Special Characters

[dar]

I am creating a list box, and need to include a special character, namely
a down arrow. I've tried copying it from the character map then pasting in
the
properties of the list box, but it does not take. What must I do to insert
the down arrow?

Thank you. If I need to use code, please be specific.

Dear dar:

I just tried it, and it worked for me... I tried a variety of other special
characters as well. Why don't you try again and if it doesn't work, post
back with a detailed description of *exactly* what you did..

I opened the property sheet for the list control.
I placed the cursor in the "Row Source" property textbox.
I opened the Character Map.
I located a down arrow (#2193)
I clicked on "Select" and "Copy".
I returned to the "Row Source" property, and pressed Ctrl-V.
It pasted an arrow..
