I think PageFrame will be a bit overkill. I don't know if you use Outlook but I am trying to simulate how Outlook works when you create an email. The Email To line shows as one line and as user selects more and more names from the contact list, the Email To line expands to up to 4 lines. And the scrollbar becomes enabled. I am trying to do almost exactly the same. Have user select names from a contact list and the names will be dropped in the editbox (programmatically) and the editbox will increase height (to show up to 4 lines) with the scrollbar enabled.
