Hi Poolbeer (nice name Smile | :) ,

I've actually tried this approach. Maybe if I could go over my thinking:

(1) Handle the key press event
(2) Get the key value and check for special keys like delete, backspace, enter and take the appropriate action based on this (i.e. either add the normal char, delete a char etc..)
(3) Modify the Text value accordingly
(4) Indicate the event has been handled.
(5) Get the value of Text and use Graphics.MeasureString to compare to the width of the TextBox area (available through TextBox.Size).
(6) If the width of the string > width of the client area, then increment the height of the TextBox by the the FontHeight.
(7) Reposition the cursor within the textbox.
(8) Invalidate the control to repaint itself.

Is this the kind of approach? (i'm no expert). How do settings like WordWrap and the likes work into your TextBox solution? Finally, how to you handle the ability to get and set Text into your box especially if the Text has been modified to create the desired output.

Sorry for the abudance of questions but I've been working on this for a while and you are the only help I've had! Smile | :)
