ReadOnly: Makes this TextBox readonly. It doesn't allow to enter any text.

Scrollbars: Allows to add a scrollbar to a Textbox. Very useful when the TextBox is multiline.

Multiline:   Setting this property to True makes the TextBox multiline which allows to accept multiple lines of text. Default value is False.

        'makes TextBox MultiLine
        TextBox1.Multiline = True
End Sub
