How can a label be Multi-line?
I need to make a "box" that will allow me to type in some paragraphs and
other data which involves some carriage returns. The user will never change the data - it will be read-only. I tried to do this with a "label" but when I enter the label data and hit "enter" it does not go to the next line. Should I continue using a label and alter it somehow? Or is there another control I should use? |
