text box multiline property

[Microslip]

ok i need to know how to display text in a text box on multiple lines by useing vb code and not the property dialog on the side?

Use

Text1.Multiline = True

To make it multi line and

Text1.Multiline = False

to make it single line

you cant do that, MultiLine is a read only property at runtime.

oh god, of course it is, you need 2 textboxes then, make one visible and the other invisible, then swap their visible properties around, make sure you put some code in the CHange events to keep the 2 textbox texts the same.
