How to get multi-line text in GUI edit text ?

I get this warning on matlab GUI when using edit text Warning: Single line Edit Controls can not have multi-line text So how to get multi-line text in GUI edit text ?

To convert the GUI element from a "single line edit control" to a "multi-line edit control", set "Max-Min>1", see doc uicontrol (link):

set(handles.edit7, 'Min', 0, 'Max', 2);

Or apply the corresponding changes in GUIDE.

By the way, I really do like this forum, but let me mention that you get a sufficient answer even faster, if you ask an internet search engine for "Matlab multi-line edit control". Searching at first is frequently more efficient than posting a question and waiting for somebody to write an answer.

This puts a vertical scroll bar on the edit control box, but what if I also wanted a horizontal scroll bar and allow the text to extend beyond the width of the edit box?
