The multiLine property
Specifies whether the text may span multiple lines.

a
draw element.

This property is provided for the benefit of clients (such as HTML browsers) that have two types of text edit
widgets.
The use property
Invokes another object in the same document as a prototype for this object. The content of this property is
either a SOM expression (which cannot start with '#') or a '#' character followed by an XML ID.
Starting with XFA 2.4 the object used as a prototype no longer needs to be the child of
proto
. Any object
of the appropriate class can be used as a prototype.
If both
use
and
usehref
are non-empty
usehref
takes precedence.
The usehref property
Invokes an external object as a prototype for this object. The content of this property is an URL, followed
by '#', followed by either an XML ID or by som(SOM_expr) where
SOM_expr
represents a SOM expression.
The XML ID or SOM expression is resolved in the context of the external document.
If both
use
and
usehref
are non-empty
usehref
takes precedence.
