Help pleasePosted: Fri Nov 26, 2010 5:45 pm Joined: Fri Nov 26, 2010 5:26 pm Posts: 1 I am a brand new user to real basic and fairly new to programming. My partner and I have come to a point where we are stuck with how to make our application do what we want when it comes to a specific user interface issue. you should know this application is fully functioning we are just going to a major update process (long overdue) I have a multi-tap application and each tab has controls filling a good portion of the screen. What we want is our window to be re-sizable with scrollbars so that our controls do not get lost. I am using an example of Container controls i found in the forums. It works great, but when running the application we get the error "this property or method does not exist". Previously the controls were all on the "window1" and now they are on the container control "scrollableview" What seems to be happening is that because i moved the location of the controls to the container control the property cannot be found when running the application. I am stuck on a work around. Using the container control was what i thought was a solution to almost of month of testing different methods (like i said im new) I used the TextArea and it worked but it didnt give me the horizontal scrollbar i wanted. If anyone knows how to edit the value of the horizontal scrollbar manually I would love to learn how to do that so i dont have to use the container controls. But I really dont know what to do, if you can help me out a bit it would be greatly appreciated Top swort Post subject: Re: Container Control 911.

Remember that the "errors" that Real Studio will give you can be misleading. Also you want a scrollbar in a textarea? - Vertical is visible and working? - Horizontal is not visible and not working ? correct me if im wrong. You can check (or set via code) the ScrollbarHorizontal to true in the window editor. First select the textarea, then under "appearance" in the properties pane set "ScrollbarHorizontal" to "True". This should be working, as it did with mine.. _________________ Hey Its Me SWORT.
