Like a single-line entry field, a multiline entry field displays data. However, at the end of each line of a multiline entry field, OpenROAD automatically wraps the text to fill in the field.

You can use a multiline entry field to display information for the end user, or to provide a data entry area where the end user can enter or modify information. To allow the end user to enter or read text that is longer than the field, you can include a vertical scroll bar. A multiline entry field may also have a horizontal scroll bar.

For information about using entry fields in portable forms, see the Programming Guide.
