1. Set the Textbox's multiline property to true.

2. I don't think that's possible, but hey, I'm new too.

3.

Dim sr As StreamReader
        Dim s As String
 
        sr = File.OpenText(System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath & "\append-e.log")
        s = sr.ReadToEnd
        sr.Close()
        TextBox1.Text = s

Forgot to mention that you need to import the IO class before the form1 class.

imports system.io

I'm not at my Dev computer right now but I remember the function that does this :

ControlPaint.DrawBorder(.........)

You might create your own control or override the OnPaint event of the form.
