Setting Description

True Can edit and display multiple lines of text.

False (Default) Can only contain a single line; carriage returns are ignored.

Details:

A text box that allows multiple lines automatically wraps the text that cannot fit within the current width of the display area.

To quickly access text in larger text boxes, you can add scroll bars using the ScrollBars property. Text in a multiline text box automatically wraps if the ScrollBars property has a value of 0 or 2. If ScrollBars is set to 1 or 3, the user is required to create new lines.

If your form contains a default button, you must use the CTRL+ENTER key combination to move to the next line in a multiple-line text box. If there is no default button specified, simply use the ENTER key to move to the next line.

Data Type: Integer (Boolean)
