Returns or sets a value indicating whether a RichTextBox 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 a RichTextBox control.
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 RichTextBox control wraps text as the user types text extending beyond the text box.
You can also add scroll bars to a larger RichTextBox control using the ScrollBars property. If no HScrollBar control (horizontal scroll bar) is specified, the text in a multiple-line RichTextBox automatically wraps.
Note On a form with no default button, pressing ENTER in a multiple-line RichTextBox control moves the focus to the next line. If a default button exists, you must press CTRL+ENTER to move to the next line.
