Re: Word wrapping?

This is what you mean ?

Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6 Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Text1.MultiLine = True
    Text1.ScrollBars = 2
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Text1.MultiLine = True
    Text1.ScrollBars = 2
End Sub

Re: Word wrapping?

I think the multiline property can only be set during the design, and not at run time.

You might also want to try Rich Text Boxes instead
