I think it can be possible. Though I havnt tried it, but give it a try.
Declare a variable which will keep track of ur no of lines.
Then on the textBox's keydown/keypress event track "Enter" key and then
increment ur variable and check its value against your max no of lines.
Remember Enter key ASCII code is 13.
Thanks.

count the number of occurences of environment.newline and take the action
you want to perform
here a small example that could do something after you have more as 5 rows
Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
If countsubstrings(TextBox1.Text, Environment.NewLine) = 5 Then
'do your stuff
End If
End Sub
Function countsubstrings(ByVal source As String, ByVal search As String)As
Integer
Dim count As Integer = -1
Dim index As Integer = -1
Do
count += 1
index = source.IndexOf(search, index + 1)
Loop Until index < 0
Return count
End Function
hope to have given you some inspiration

There is a textbox property called lines which returns an array of the text
box lines. You might be able to do something with mytextbox.lines.count.

doesn't return .count
nor can you use Ubounds

It's a string array so you can use TextBox1.Lines.Length
