Textbox Border style = fixed single but the text vertical align is on top border

Question

Hi I'm struggling to vertical align the text within a textbox. I have the black border but the text verticalalign is basically on the top border Textbox: Border style: FixedSingle; Multiline: True; Enabled: False; align: center; I have played with the margins set top to 8 & bottom to 0 but nothing. Is it like this or is there no other way as it does not look good on the form. ? Thanks in advance Regards

So its much easier that way you can append a new line character to the beginning of the string right at the form load when you are populating the textbox (if it is not set in design time). you can set textbox to readonly after that operation.

Hi the texbox is populated on load & is read only so i can't use the event. How do i set the text display in the texbox vertical align?

you can append a newline character before your textdata on keyup event.

Hay thanks for helping but i have set the alignment and it's not that. That alignment sets the text to leftcenter or right: I want to set the vertical-alignment as the text is nearly on the top border & i have played with the margins ?
