You can't. That's why you'd normally use an EditBox, to show multiple lines
or text that's too wide for a textbox. Use a TextBox instead if you don't
want it to wrap.

Fred-

That was my first reaction, but suppose you want formatted (that is,
non-wrapping), multi-line text? Do you know if an RTF control would do
it? (I haven't played with them, myself).

Yes, the RTF control will do that, but only if you set the RightMargin
property to a big enough number. If you don't change the RightMargin, it
will wrap, too.
