The amount of text that can be stored in the Text property is limited to 65 KB of memory for the TextBox control.
The amount of text that can be stored in the Text property is limited to the amount available system memory.
The following code example uses TextBox, a derived class, to create a multiline TextBox control with vertical scroll bars. This example also uses the AcceptsTab, AcceptsReturn, and WordWrap properties to make the multiline text box control useful for creating text documents.
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 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!" + Environment::NewLine + "Second Line"; }
