Multi-line editbox

What I want is a 300x300 px big editbox in which multiple lines can be writen, this is the code I have:

Lua Code:

local editBoxSpells = CreateFrame("EditBox", "DoTrackerEditBoxSpells", menu, "InputBoxTemplate")
editBoxSpells:SetMultiLine(true)
editBoxSpells:SetSize(300, 300)
editBoxSpells:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 300, -107)
editBoxSpells:SetAutoFocus(false)
editBoxSpells:SetText("test")
editBoxSpells:SetCursorPosition(0)
editBoxSpells:SetFont("Fonts\\FRIZQT__.TTF", 10)
editBoxSpells:SetJustifyH("LEFT")
editBoxSpells:SetJustifyV("CENTER")

The problem I have is this:

The background and border of the editbox does not fill up the entire 300x300 px big editbox.

The regions of the InputBoxTemplate template are "fixed" to a certain height. You could try using a backdrop instead.

Code:

local editBoxSpells = CreateFrame("EditBox", "DoTrackerEditBoxSpells", menu)

editBoxSpells:SetBackdrop({

        bgFile = [[Interface\Buttons\WHITE8x8]],

        edgeFile = [[Interface\Tooltips\UI-Tooltip-Border]],

        edgeSize = 14,

        insets = {left = 3, right = 3, top = 3, bottom = 3},

})

editBoxSpells:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0)

editBoxSpells:SetBackdropBorderColor(0.3, 0.3, 0.3)

editBoxSpells:SetMultiLine(true)

editBoxSpells:SetSize(300, 300)

editBoxSpells:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 300, -107)

editBoxSpells:SetAutoFocus(false)

editBoxSpells:SetText("test")

editBoxSpells:SetCursorPosition(0)

editBoxSpells:SetFont("Fonts\\FRIZQT__.TTF", 10)

editBoxSpells:SetJustifyH("LEFT")

editBoxSpells:SetJustifyV("CENTER")

It worked perfectly, thanks! :)
