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

Posts: 293                Big explanation, i cant seem to find out whats 
exactly wrong.

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..
