Question

I am creating some textboxes dynamically in a custom control (actually is just a panel with a binding source that adds other sub controls at runtime.

In some of those I am setting WordWrap=True because I am expecting large text. But the textbox has only one line. Also I notice that I have to set the property AutoSize to False. When I add dynamically textboxes in a form everything is working fine (even without setting the AutoSize and the WordWrap.

 Dim txt as new textbox
 txt.Multiline = True
 txt.AutoSize = False
 txt.Size = New Size(100, 50)
 txt.WordWrap = True
 txt.Location = New Point(10, 10)
 Me.Controls.Add(txt)   'Me is my custom Control

I checked the property WordWrap for the text box after I inserted them (with double click) and it is True.

Any ideas why I face this strange behaviour in my custom control?

Edit:
The problem is that I cannot make my text to wordwrap. So although I set MultiLine to true, AutoSize to false, WordWrap to True, the text is not changing lines. I don’t want to add scrollbars.

Guys I have to apologize.
The error was in my xml (I had MultiLine instead of Multiline), so my textbox was never Multiline.
Thanks for your time, Sorry for spending it without meaning.
