MultiLine, WordWrap, ScrollBars Properties Example

The following example demonstrates the MultiLine, WordWrap, and ScrollBars properties on a TextBox.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Script Editor of a form. To run the code you need to open the form so the Open event will activate. Make sure that the form contains:

• A TextBox named TextBox1.
• Four ToggleButton controls named ToggleButton1 through ToggleButton4.

To see the entire text placed in the TextBox, set MultiLine and WordWrap to True by clicking the ToggleButton controls.

When MultiLine is True, you can enter new lines of text by pressing SHIFT+ENTER.

ScrollBars appears when you manually change the content of the TextBox.
