Text entry with line spacing

Hi All,

 

I have a text input to write instructions. Do you know if it is possible for the text entry box, instead of looking completely white, to be seen in a line format, just like a notebook would be?.

 

This is how it looks.

This is how it should look.

    Hi @Francisco77 ,

    You could use the HintText property and put in come underscore characters, or put an image behind the box visible only when the box is blank,

    Hi @WarrenBelz 

     

    Thanks for your help. Without putting an image in "with the lines" when the box is blank it would not work, since I want what is written in the text box to look as if it were written in a notebook.


    As for the "HintText" property, how would this work?.

     

    Regards,

    @Francisco77 ,

    HintText will not work for you as it disappears once anything is typed in. The Image (visible all the time) is really your only option.
