To Memo or not to Memo! That is my Question

[binky]

I am trying to add a 'memo' box to my form. Is there such a thing? I have looked through MSDN and I can find some references to a memo box but I'm not sure how to add one to my form.

Any thoughts?

What I am trying to do is allow a user to enter in a line into a 'text box' and hit enter to go to the next line in the same text box.

Thanks in advance,
Ken

I'm new at all of this, but I did try what your are asking. I put a plain text box on a form, a vertical scroll bar, and set the multiline property to "true" at design time. I was able to type in the text box and hit enter to move to the next line in the same text box.
Hope it helps.

A textbox with the multiline property will do what you want. But beware that the textbox has a limit to the number of characters that it can hold, I believe that it is about 64k characters......

You could also try to use an rtf control....

The easiest way to do this is to add a text box to the form, then in the properties window {F4}, switch the Multiline property of the text box to True.
