Use
Multi-line text box controls support word wrapping by default, however if you wish to respect the location of line breaks in the host display, then setting this property to True, will ensure that a new line character will be inserted at the position where text starts on another line in the host display.
TIP
This property only applies to multi-line entry fields.
As an example, the following image is an example of an entry field that spans several lines. The text breaks in the middle of a word on the first line:
Setting DisplayHostLineBreak to True will render the field with line breaks in exactly the same location as the host field:
Setting DisplayHostLineBreak to False will turn word wrapping on and let the GUI dictate line breaks.
