Textbox lines.

Anybody know how to use wordwrap=true and multiline = true on a textbox, but
still have the textbox.lines attribute advance if the wordwrap happens?

I have a large textbox that is setup like this and I want to get the number
of lines of text, but right now, unless a user hits Enter, it always reports
1 line.

I don't think you can. The number of lines is defined literally as the
number of lines, e.g. the number of sentences delimited by a newline.

You could:
1) Do a programmatical split on CrLf characters to get the 'real' number of
lines, then
2) For each of the lines, divide the number of characters by the maximum
character width in the textbox, then
3) Add all the numbers up

That should give you roughly the number of lines in the wrapped textbox.

Greetings all, I'm working on a program that allows a user to enter notes in a multiline textbox. I would like to be able to read the contents of the textbox (as records - one per line) and store in an array then a file. Perhaps this is the wrong control to use as there seems no way of referencing each line of the text box.

Hi, For my application I need the following behavior: When I press F4 the cursor has to move to the next line in my multiline textbox which begins with "0". Finding lines starting with 0 isn't that difficult, but to find the next line is more difficult. For exemple: if my cursor is on line 200, it has to start searching on line 201, and not on line 1. Anybody has any ideas?

This is probably a very dumb question, I am using VB.NET 2003 and I see where I can use a method to append text to a textbox, but how about remove? I have a textbox that I continually post log type data to and I want to keep it limited to 500 lines of text so that old lines get removed. How can I remove lines of text from a textbox? Thanks, Ben

All, Being immersed in vb.net and trying CSharp after almost a year I forgot the differences. I like vb fixing the uppercase/lowercase names and seeming to be more flexible to code entry. But while trying to insert a text box to see when a method is used, and putting a counter to bump some variable? The textbox sits there unchanged. I put a breakpoint at the text write
