Hi,

Can you go through the folllowing steps for making Textbox to Multi line Textbox.

Go to the Textbox Properties.
Click on Display tab.
Select 'Multi-line' check box and Click on 'OK'.

I hope it may help you

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.

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.

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 ?
