Visual Basic

[Grundy]

Does anyone know how to link a scroll bar with a textbox in Visual Basic? There is more text than will fit in the textbox and I need a scroll bar in order to scroll down and see the rest of the text. I don't want to change the size of the textbox so I need a scroll bar.

Any help?

i dont know about VB, but in delphi, "Scrollbars" is an option for the text box... for example

Memo1.Scrollbars := ssVertical

of course, its probably not ssVertical, ssHorizontal or ssBoth in VB... but probably something similar.

That code worked except for the scrolling command. I still need help on that part.

Text1.Scrollbar = ???

Try vbHorizontal, vbVertical, or vbBoth.

VB seems to recognize vbVertical etc. because it automatically capitalizes "Vertical" but when I run the program, the text in the textbox doens't scroll and it comes up with an error message that says "Compile Error: Can't asign to read-only property."


Private Sub VScroll1_Scroll()
txtFact.ScrollBars = vbBoth

End Sub

Is there anyway to link the scrolbar with the textbox?

[TwistedSoul]

ill be in programming very shortly but all you would need to do is

txtname.Vscroll = true
.....

or simply enabled the verticle scroller in the objects property window.

[TwistedSoul]

heres a way to link them sort of.


Option Explicit
Private Sub Command1_Click()
If Text1.ScrollBars = 2 Then
Text1.Text = "This has a verticle scrollbar"
End If
End Sub

[lordvader]

Ah, sorry, you're not able to dynamically change scrollbar setup; ScrollBars is a read-only property. Change the value in the object properties box.
