ScrollBars - In TextBox [RESOLVED]

[WilliamRobinson]

em me again

Just want a scroll bar to appear if theres to much text to fit in the box..

not much else i can say i guess

Just set the Scrollbars property to either Horizontal, Vertical or Both. You'll also need to set the Multiline property = True.

Just set the scrollbars property of yout Textbox

EDIT: OOOPs, took way too long - was writing a code that was un-needed. I forgot about the ScrollBars Property untill a moment ago :P

Ah silly me,

thx

[WilliamRobinson]

i have the text box set to resize to the same as the form using :

Text1.Move 0, 0, Me.Width - 90, Me.Height - 390

[WilliamRobinson]

Any suggestions? its definatly that code Above ^^ because when i remove it i can see the Horizontal bar

looks like i need a different code for resizing ?

[sciguyryan]

Normally the horizontal scrollbar is not normally required.

In your case, the textbox is being resized to a size smaller than the original and, so displays it.

It should display anyway though :\

The horizontal scrollbar should always be at the bottom, however, the slider wont show unless the text is longer than the width of the textbox. And that will only happen if you have word wrap set to false also.

[WilliamRobinson]

Yeah your right i just removed the hor bar and it done word wrap basicly

i have the text box set to resize to the same as the form using :

Text1.Move 0, 0, Me.Width - 90, Me.Height - 390

You should change that code. That code expects that the title bar and borders take up 390 twips, which might not be true. Always use the ScaleWidth and ScaleHeight properties instead.

Text1.Move 0, 0, Me.ScaleWidth, Me.ScaleHeight

[WilliamRobinson]

ah now i can see the HOR bar, not that i need it anymore but still a good thing


Cheers Everyone
