MultiLine property

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).
