iOS - how do I make a text field taller than 1 line?

Question

I am making my first text field, and I am looking for more of a text area that the person can fill out. Xcode disables for me the ability to extend it to more than one line. Is it possible? If so, how do I do that?

Thanks! enter image description here

You want a UITextView, which is an editable field that can accomodate more than one line of text.

A multiline UITextField is implemented by the UITextView and making sure its editable property is set to YES.

The UITextView class implements the behavior for a scrollable, multiline text region.

@EvanMulawski I am looking for the UITextView in my bottom right of the storyboard, but I don't quite see it. How do I get to it? :) Thanks! – Genadinik Jun 27 '12 at 01:06
@Genadinik: I assume you mean `UITextView` - it should be labeled Text View. Try changing the selection from "Controls" to "Objects". – Evan Mulawski Jun 27 '12 at 01:08
