Returns or sets a value indicating whether a TextBox control can accept and display multiple lines of text. Read only at run time.
Syntax
object.MultiLine
The object placeholder represents an object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.
Settings
The MultiLine property settings are:
| Setting | Description |
| True | Allows multiple lines of text. |
| False | (Default) Ignores carriage returns and restricts data to a single line. |
Remarks
A multiple-line TextBox control wraps text as the user types text extending beyond the text box.
You can also add scroll bars to larger TextBox controls using the ScrollBars property. If no horizontal scroll bar is specified, the text in a multiple-line TextBox automatically wraps.
Note On a form with no default button, pressing ENTER in a multiple-line TextBox control moves the focus to the next line. If a default button exists, you must press CTRL+ENTER to move to the next line.
