    Output an array in a textbox

    Im working in the application GUI layout and was wandering if there was a scrollbox or something like that that would allow me to output several arrays in it...

    For example, user inputs something, program calculates, and should output 12 arrays. How would I make the program output it into a specific box/something...

    I know for a label, you can have the program output a line of something, but im not too sure if it would output multiple lines/arrays as there wouldn't be enough room...

    Use a read-only text field or something similar.

    would the text field expand for me as the arrays make a new line each time? or do I have to make it large enough to fit all of them?

    You can give a text box the ability to have scrollbars. So it will expand in that fashion, if you so wish. You could also make it re sizable etc based on the text you are outputting, but that would be a little more difficult to code.

    Just have a normal textbox that supports multilines.

    Code:
    textBox1.MultiLine = true;
    
    foreach(string str in StringArray) textBox1.Text += str + System.Environment.NewLine;
    If the number of strings vertically exceeds the height of the textbox, scrollbars are added automaticly.
