hey i figured it out:
hey! . .i got it!!!!! .. .
1. Raise a OnPaint manually from WndProc()
2. Keep causing a repaint everytime text is typed!
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Drawing;
namespace Linedtextbox
{
class LinedTextBox : System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
{
public LinedTextBox(): base()
{
Multiline = true;
}
protected override void WndProc(ref
System.Windows.Forms.Message m)
{
if (m.Msg == 0x00f)
{
// raise the paint event
base.WndProc(ref m);
Graphics graphic = base.CreateGraphics();
OnPaint(new
System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs(graphic, base.ClientRectangle));
graphic.Dispose();
}
else
base.WndProc(ref m);
}
protected override void OnTextChanged(EventArgs e)
{
Graphics graphic = base.CreateGraphics();
OnPaint(new System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs(graphic,
base.ClientRectangle));
graphic.Dispose();
base.OnTextChanged(e);
}
protected override void
OnPaint(System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e)
{
base.OnPaint(e);
int txtHeight = Convert.ToInt32(Font.GetHeight()) + 1;
Pen thePen = new Pen(Color.Black);
for (int i = txtHeight; i < Height ; i += txtHeight)
{
e.Graphics.DrawLine(thePen, 0, i, this.Width, i);
}
}
}
}

good thinking , i really hoped it would work but it did'nt work.
Also , if i type text and then cause a repaint (min the wndow , then
restore it) ... the text turns invsible , and the lines show .. but
then when i select the text . . ... poof! go the lines again , like in
the picture!

Call base onPaint first as this is drawing over your work. Call it first,
then you will be drawing lines over its results.

The text turns BOLD and the lines kinda get erased because of the text.
perhaps i could overide or handle the onKeydown or somethin and
intercept the text to be entered and then draw it myself. Any
suggestions????????
this is the code :
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Drawing;
namespace Linedtextbox
{
class LinedTextBox : System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
{
public LinedTextBox(): base()
{
Multiline = true;
SetStyle(System.Windows.Forms.ControlStyles.UserPa int,true);
}
protected override void
OnPaint(System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e)
{
int txtHeight = Convert.ToInt32(Font.GetHeight()) + 3;
Pen thePen = new Pen(Color.Black);
for (int i = txtHeight; i < Height ; i += txtHeight)
{
e.Graphics.DrawLine(thePen, 0, i, this.Width, i);
}
base.OnPaint(e);
}
}
}
