Making Textbox in VB Inputbox Larger

Question

How can I make the textbox in a VB Inputbox larger?

@Odinuff: What kind of executable? Are you using System.Windows.Forms? System.Web.UI.WebControls? — IAbstract, Jul 07 '11 at 18:17
@IAbstract The default in a Windows Forms application, which I would assume would thus be System.Windows.Forms.... — Odinulf, Jul 07 '11 at 18:31

You can't modify the input box, just create your own custom input box.

Basically you just create your own form that looks/acts like the inputbox control. With that you will be able to modify the height and width, really anything you want – Gage Jul 07 '11 at 19:16

You can use multiline textbox if thats what you mean. Or you can create a new inputbox form and add a multiline textbox to it and set the anchor to all directions, so if you change the form size it will change its size as well.

Or you could use a normal textbox and just change the font size.
