Dim value As ScrollBars

instance.ScrollBars = value
public ScrollBars ScrollBars { get; set; }

Property Value
Type:
System.Windows.Forms..::.ScrollBarsOne of the ScrollBars enumeration values that indicates whether a multiline TextBox control appears with no scroll bars, a horizontal scroll bar, a vertical scroll bar, or both. The default is ScrollBars.None.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|
| InvalidEnumArgumentException | A value that is not within the range of valid values for the enumeration was assigned to the property. |
Horizontal scroll bars will not be shown if the WordWrap property is set to true, regardless of the value of the ScrollBars property.
The following code example creates a multiline TextBox control with vertical scroll bars. This example also uses the AcceptsTab, AcceptsReturn, and WordWrap properties to make the multiline TextBox control useful for creating text documents.
Public Sub CreateMyMultilineTextBox()
' Create an instance of a TextBox control.
Dim textBox1 As New TextBox()
' Set the Multiline property to true.
textBox1.Multiline = True
' Add vertical scroll bars to the TextBox control.
textBox1.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Vertical
' Allow the RETURN key to be entered in the TextBox control.
textBox1.AcceptsReturn = True
' Allow the TAB key to be entered in the TextBox control.
textBox1.AcceptsTab = True
' Set WordWrap to true to allow text to wrap to the next line.
textBox1.WordWrap = True
' Set the default text of the control.
textBox1.Text = "Welcome!"
End Sub
public void CreateMyMultilineTextBox()
{
// Create an instance of a TextBox control.
TextBox textBox1 = new TextBox();
// Set the Multiline property to true.
textBox1.Multiline = true;
// Add vertical scroll bars to the TextBox control.
textBox1.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Vertical;
// Allow the RETURN key to be entered in the TextBox control.
textBox1.AcceptsReturn = true;
// Allow the TAB key to be entered in the TextBox control.
textBox1.AcceptsTab = true;
// Set WordWrap to true to allow text to wrap to the next line.
textBox1.WordWrap = true;
// Set the default text of the control.
textBox1.Text = "Welcome!";
}
public:
void CreateMyMultilineTextBox()
{
// Create an instance of a TextBox control.
TextBox^ textBox1 = gcnew TextBox;
// Set the Multiline property to true.
textBox1->Multiline = true;
// Add vertical scroll bars to the TextBox control.
textBox1->ScrollBars = ScrollBars::Vertical;
// Allow the RETURN key to be entered in the TextBox control.
textBox1->AcceptsReturn = true;
// Allow the TAB key to be entered in the TextBox control.
textBox1->AcceptsTab = true;
// Set WordWrap to true to allow text to wrap to the next line.
textBox1->WordWrap = true;
// Set the default text of the control.
textBox1->Text = "Welcome!";
