Wrapping is totally automatic. You should make the text box at least two lines tall so you can see any line wrapping that may be happening. You probably need the vertical scroll bar regardless, just so you can scroll to the wrapped lines.

Wrapping only occurs if the control is at least two lines tall (width don't matter). You will only see the scrollbar when the control has focus.

M Marshall Barton Feb 18, 2006 #8 ;-) Well, I just tried it it out before you did ;-) I may have done it more than a decade earlier than you, but that's how we figure out all this stuff. Keep on experimenting.
