Count number of lines in VB multiline textbox
count, lines, textbox, vb.net
Solution
The `TextBox` has a `Lines` property.
int numLines = txt.Lines.Length
But this only returns 1 during TextChanged event.
Then you have just one line. Lines are separated by Ènvironment.NewLine (VBCrlf). Your text looks like it would have multiple lines but actually it is just wrapped since it's too long for the view.
Try to set the height in `TextChanged` in this way:
Dim s As SizeF = TextRenderer.MeasureText(txt.Text, txt.Font, txt.ClientRectangle.Size, TextFormatFlags.WordBreak)
txt.Height = CInt(s.Height)
Problem
I want to count the number of lines needed for VB multiline textbox to display the whole given string. So that I can increase height of the textbox accordingly during TextChanged event.
