MultiLine Property (TextBox)

Gets or sets a value indicating whether this is a multiline textbox control.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property MultiLine As Boolean

public bool MultiLine {get; set;}

Property Value

A Boolean value. True if the textbox control is multi-line; otherwise, False.

Remarks

A multiline textbox control renders its text on more than one line. If the WordWrap property is set to True, long lines will be wrapped to the following line. If the WordWrap property is set to False, the text will print on a new line only when a newline character is encountered.

Example

private void detail_Format(object sender, System.EventArgs eArgs)
{
    this.TextBox1.CanGrow = true;
    this.TextBox1.CanShrink = false;
    this.TextBox1.MultiLine = true;
    this.TextBox1.WordWrap = true;
}

Visual Basic

Private Sub Detail1_Format(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Detail1.Format
   Me.TextBox1.CanGrow = True
   Me.TextBox1.CanShrink = False
   Me.TextBox1.MultiLine = True
   Me.TextBox1.WordWrap = True
End Sub
