Select the Multi-Line Edit part to add a control into which a user can type multiple lines of information.

The Multi-Line Edit part is useful for displaying a large amount of textual information. For example, you might use a Multi-Line Edit part to display long instructions or descriptive information from a database. A Multi-Line Edit part displays such information in the minimal visual space required.

When you use a Multi-Line Edit part in your application you provide a user with text editing capabilities, such as insert mode, cut, copy, and paste, for the list box which normally does not have such capabilities.

To display the pop-up menu for the part, click with mouse button 2 on the part.

To further define the appearance and function of a part, double-click on it to open the properties window.
