Scroll bar on text box

[damarious]

VB6:

I need to be able to add a scroll bar to a text box. I'm not sure if there is a setting on the box properties

(my crappy-no-use-at-all-bargin-bin-VB6-book says there is... it lies I say)

or how I would link a scroll bar to the text box. I'm not used to windows programming, I'm still getting the feel of creating GUIs.

yarr...

thanks.

Set the scrollbar property of the textbox (at design-time).

I don't what you're smoking, but I want some! anything that would put a scrollbar property there!

I'm afraid there is no scrollbar property available...

yarr... I blame myself for getting in over my head.. really.

You just set the Scrollbars properties of the text box to
Horizontal,Vertical or Both ScrollBars.

[damarious]

well I'll be buggered... THERE AIN'T NONE!

Yup, that's right! In Access maybe, but my alphabetic properties go from
RightToLeft = False
to
TabIndex = 7

no scroll nothin' Maybe visual studio is smokin' the crack and I need to reinstall.... I dunno.. I don't wanna be mean. I'm sorry folks... I'm just really pissed at this part of my program right now.

In design time, click once on the text box to make sure you are looking at the correct object in the property box. Go down to ScrollBars and Pick Horizontal, Vertical or Both. That's a drop-down box. And Viola! Scroll Bars appear!

I'm greatful for all of your assistance in this matter, and all of the responses I got from you and now I will put my foot in my mouth bite hard since I just noticed that what I was referring to as a text box was really a label... Problem solved.

That is all, maybe I'll go back to Unix programming, none-o-this gui crap...

THANK YOU ALL!!

Don't give up. You just learned something new today and maybe tomorrow you'll learn something else.
