Specifies whether a control can accept and display multiple lines of text.
Syntax
object.MultiLine [= Boolean]
The MultiLine property syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| object | Required. A valid object. |
| Boolean | Optional. Whether the control supports more than one line of text. |
Settings
The settings for Boolean are:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| True | The text is displayed across multiple lines (default). |
| False | The text is not displayed across multiple lines. |
Remarks
A multiline TextBox allows absolute line breaks and adjusts its quantity of lines to accommodate the amount of text it holds. If needed, a multiline control can have vertical scroll bars.
A single-line TextBox doesn't allow absolute line breaks and doesn't use vertical scroll bars.
Single-line controls ignore the value of the WordWrap property.
Note If you change MultiLine to False in a multiline TextBox, all the characters in the TextBox will be combined into one line, including non-printing characters (such as carriage returns and new-lines).
