EnterKeyBehavior, MultiLine properties example

The following example uses the EnterKeyBehavior property to control the effect of Enter in a TextBox. In this example, the user can specify either a single-line or multiline TextBox.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Declarations portion of a form. Make sure that the form contains:

• A TextBox named TextBox1.
• Two ToggleButton controls named ToggleButton1 and ToggleButton2.

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() 
 TextBox1.EnterKeyBehavior = True 
 ToggleButton1.Caption = "EnterKeyBehavior is True" 
 ToggleButton1.Width = 70 
 ToggleButton1.Value = True 
 
 TextBox1.MultiLine = True 
 ToggleButton2.Caption = "MultiLine is True" 
 ToggleButton2.Width = 70 
 ToggleButton2.Value = True 
 
 TextBox1.Height = 100 
 TextBox1.WordWrap = True 
 TextBox1.Text = "Type your text here. If " _ 
 & "EnterKeyBehavior is True, " _ 
 & "press Enter to start a new line. Otherwise, press SHIFT+ENTER." 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click() 
 If ToggleButton1.Value = True Then 
 TextBox1.EnterKeyBehavior = True 
 ToggleButton1.Caption = _ 
 "EnterKeyBehavior is True" 
 Else 
 TextBox1.EnterKeyBehavior = False 
 ToggleButton1.Caption = _ 
 "EnterKeyBehavior is False" 
 End If 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub ToggleButton2_Click() 
 If ToggleButton2.Value = True Then 
 TextBox1.MultiLine = True 
 ToggleButton2.Caption = "MultiLine TextBox" 
 Else 
 TextBox1.MultiLine = False 
 ToggleButton2.Caption = "Single-line TextBox" 
 End If 
End Sub
