how can i create a multi-line textbox dynamically?

[BillE]

I need to create a multi-line label dynamically.

Since labels aren't multi-line, I'm creating a textbox and making it look
like a label with the multiline property set to true.

I want to increase the height of the textbox only if there are multiple
lines, and leave it at the default height if the text does not wrap after
setting the Text property.

I thought I could use the Lines property after setting the Text property,
but Lines is always = 1 even if the

I would appreciate any advise.

Thanks
Bill

I'm pretty sure I've had Multiline labels by adding a new-line
character to the string in the label. In the Designer View, edit the
Text property of the label, click on the down arrow to get the large
text edit box, then press Shift-Enter to go to a new line.
In code, use vbNewLine to add a new line.

Thanks Zoltar!
I created a label dynamically, set the minimum and maximum widths to be the
size I wanted, and set the Autosize to true so it would expand vertically.
It works great.
