text boxes

Even when I set the multiline property of a text box to true, it only allows one line. Is this a quirk or is there something else that needs to be done?

First, the text box needs to be tall enough to show more than one line.

Second, the text will be broken into separate lines only where there is a space; if the text is all contiguous characters it will not split into separate lines.

Also, if the TextBox is on a form and the text in the control is being edited, it will show on one line until focus is changed to another control.
