there is a property disablenoscroll but i just tried it and with both scroll bars enabled, and no text in the control it showed both bards but only has the scroll enabled for the horizontal and not vertical. I don't see a problems as there is nothing to scroll. I make all my reports in text format as a string and then use the controls textRTF = mytext when i want to display. there is a way to write colours as well. i have done it and can look it up if you need it. there is a locked property though Im not sure what that does. no mention in the help file.

-----Original Message----- From: Joe Yoder Thanks for sharing Al. Here are some notes to myself about what I learned about this control: 1. Horizontal scrolling functions only if the right margin is set wider than the control. 2. Vertical scrolling functions only if there is more text than will fit in the vertical space in the control. 3. Both vertical and horizontal scrolling work independent of the presence or absence of the scroll bars. 4. Even if enabled, neither scroll bar will be shown unless the text can be scrolled. 5. The rich text control adds formatting info to the data. This is not a problem unless one uses the same data elsewhere and expects pure text. In my case I should be fine as long as I use it only for reading. That's it for what I learned. I am still pondering a way to use this in a read only mode. I suppose I can grab the data out of the memo where it is stored and write it to a memory variable for viewing. That will insure that the memo field never gets altered but will still allow a user to make changes on screen. Any ideas here? _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
