Glossary Item Box

Gets or sets whether multiple lines of text are allowed.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Property Multiline As Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage)Copy Code
Dim instance As TextCellType
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.Multiline = value
 
value = instance.Multiline
C# 
public bool Multiline {get; set;}

Property Value

Boolean: true if multiple lines of text are allowed; false otherwise

Remarks

When set to true, multiple lines are allowed, but text is not automatically wrapped to new lines when the number of characters exceeds the width of the cell. To wrap lines of text automatically, set the WordWrap property (inherited from EditCellType). Otherwise, to wrap lines of text, be sure to type in carriage-return characters to force the text to the new lines.

Example

This example specifies how text can be displayed including the letter case, the length, and whether it can wrap to multiple lines.
