Making a Text Item Multi-Line

To make a text item multi-line:

  1. In the Object Navigator, double-click the object icon beside the desired text item to display the Property Palette.
  2. Under the Functional node, set the Multi-line property to Yes.

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

Note: The data type of a multi-line text item must be CHAR, ALPHA, or LONG.
