Did you check the documentation for SFGUI or TGUI?

I personally would expect a bit more flexibility from a programmer.

Text box widget.

A text box is a multi-line input box which supports word-wrap and a vertical scrollbar. If you are looking for a single line input field (with options like setting a password character or displaying a default text when it is empty) then check out the EditBox class

oops, maybe I should have read the definition of each widget instead of just reading the name, my bad

The name is 'okay'. In quite a few GUI libraries the 'entry' or 'edit' or 'edit box' is a one liner widget and 'text box', 'text edit' or 'memo' or 'text area' are multi line editors.
