I have a multi line textbox with word wrap enabled. Is it possible to
write code to check if the text of the textbox has continued into the
next line and then count the amount of lines?

If not possible in a textbox is it possible in a richtextbox?

Thanks

Determining the lines as they are being displayed in a textbox control

The TextBox.Lines() method searches the text for newline characters, and
returns an array of all the lines found.

    Dim tempArray() as String
    tempArray = textBox1.Lines

I don't however understand what you mean by checking if  text has wrapped
into the next line.

The code below counts the lines in a text box (called box) taking wrapping
into account.

HTH & greetings,
  Marius.

Private Function CountLines() As Integer
    Dim g As Graphics = box.CreateGraphics()
    Dim sf As StringFormat = DirectCast( _
     System.Drawing.StringFormat.GenericTypographic.Clone(), _
     StringFormat)
    sf.Alignment = StringAlignment.Near
    sf.FormatFlags = StringFormatFlags.NoClip
    Dim charCount As Integer
    Dim lineCount As Integer
    Call g.MeasureString(box.Text, _
        box.Font, _
        New SizeF(box.Width, box.Height), _
        sf, charCount, lineCount)
    g.Dispose()
    Return lineCount
End Function

TextBox1.Lines.Count  (or .Length),  I don't rembmer off the top of my
head.
