>I need to have an edit box extend vertically if the user enters more text than will fit. The edit box will not have scroll bars. There will be a limit to the size and I can easily handle that part. I'm just not sure of the best way to handle the auto sizing. Is there some event that gets triggered when the text goes below the box? I thought of using memlines() but is there an easier way?

Here is an alternative design, which I used at Bata/Bolivia. The idea was to save space on the form. Instead of growing as a function of the amount of text, the EditBox shows only a few lines - say, 3 lines. On GotFocus, its size increases - say, to 10 lines, but WITH scrollbars. On LostFocus, the size is changed to 3 lines again. This allows the user easy editing.
