Usage Notes

Setting the Multi-line property Yes allows a text item to store multiple lines of text, but it does not automatically make the item large enough to display multiple lines. It is up to you to set the Width, Height, Font Size, and Maximum Length properties to ensure that the desired number of lines and characters are displayed.

Single-line Pressing the carriage return key while the input focus is in a single-line text item initiates a [Next Item] function.

Multi-line Pressing the carriage return key while the input focus is in a multi-line text item starts a new line in the item.

Multi-Line Restrictions

Valid only for text items with data type CHAR, ALPHA, or LONG.
