Newbie here, please forgive a simple question.
I have, with the aid of this Community site, made the following code snippet. It works correctly, adds the textbox to my form, with the correct text etc, but, the only property change not working is the Height component which remains at 20 throughout.
From other answers, and the fact that I made my code snippet identical to those, then the Height property should have changed - or, more likely, what am I misunderstanding
cCount += 1
Dim newT As New TextBoxnewT.Name =
"newT" + cCount.ToString()newT.Text =
"newT test entry : " + cCount.ToString()newT.Location =
New Point(280, 100)newT.Size =
New Size(160, 100)Controls.Add(newT)
Dynamic Textbox - property setting problem.

OK Brendon, thanks for that.
It would appear that the posted answer(s) to similar questions were incorrect in as much as they suggested exactly as my snippet showed (indeed, my snippet was produced with those suggestions).
Can the textbox height also be dynamically controlled by setting a font property for it at run time

Setting the Font size with something like:
textBox1.Font = new Font(textBox1.Font.Name, 36)
On a TextBox where Multiline = false will cause the height of the TextBox to change. If however you change the size when Multiline = true, the size will not change.

Thanks again Brendon.
I had in the meantime experimented with
newT.Font =
New Font("ariel", 32)both with and without the
newT.Multiline =
Truebut your suggestion using 'textBox1.Font.Name' is a better solution.

Add the following line to your snipit:
newT.Multiline = True
A TextBox when created is in single line mode and its height is proportional to a single line of text at the specified font size... by changing it to multi-line you are free to change it’s height to your hearts desire.
