showLines
set [the] showLines of field to trueOrFalse
The showLines property returns or sets whether the text baselines of a field appear. It corresponds to the Show Lines check box in a Field Info dialog box.
The default value is false (meaning that the baselines are invisible).
Setting the showLines property to true sets the fixedLineHeight property to true. Setting the showLines to false has no effect on the fixedLineHeight.
Note: The showLines property has no effect for scrolling fields.
