    Text box control (multi-line ?)

    All:

         I have a text box ctrl on a Form, I configured it so that it expands when text longer that the horizontal length of the control is entered.

         But I would like to be able to just hit return and that a line is added, like in a classical multi-line text box, in the current state of things I have to

         enter a complete line of text in order to have a new line inserted.

         Hints ?

    I don't think it's possible to insert actual line breaks into an InfoPath textbox control, but they can be used in RichText controls, if that would be an acceptable option.

    I Think I found how to do it, by going on the text-box properties and on the Display tab, I check the "Paragraph breaks" checkbox.

    Now when users fill the text-bos if they hit return they get to next line

    Beware, this disables the maximun charaters validation a bit below on the same tab, I'll simply do that length validation somwhere further down the data pipe.
