Text field with horizontal scrollbar

Hi!

Thanks for your ideas for the following problem:

The text field has only a vertical scroll bar, but no horizontal one.
When typing across the right boundary of the field the text is continued
in the next line. I'd like a horizontal scrollbar to appear instead.

Is there any other control doing this?

Thanks!

Best regards,
Martin

If it is available on your system and registered, the Microsoft Forms 2.0
TextBox ActiveX Control is the answer to your dilemma. It supports the
use of None, Horizontal, Vertical, or Both as options for the ScroolBars
property of this control. Hope this info helps..

Set the height to 1 row and turn scroll bars off and use the arrow keys.
There is no horizontal bar property to a text field. The only place I
can think of that might have what you need is Stephan Leban's web
site...go to google and type his name to find it.

I created a vertically scrolling div. On initial rendering, Firefox shows a horizontal scrollbar in this div, over the complete width. Resizing the width of the window/viewport makes the horizontal scrollbar disappear and never come back again, because the content is "liquid". Resizing the window/viewport vertically, makes the scrollbar come back again. IE and Opera don't show this behaviour. Page: http://www/lahaina.nl/index.htm CSS:...

How to tell if a horizontal scrollbar is present? I only want to use scrollTo if horizontal scrollbar is present. window.scrollbars.visibility doesn't specify which scrollbar is present, so it gives a false result if there is vertical scrollbar but not horizontal scrollbar. TIA, Anna

Hi, I want a Horizontal scrollbar to appear in my Panel control when I add new controls to it (when the width is getting too big). The Vertical scrollbar is easy (adding overflow: auto to the style attribute of the panel element). Now when I dynamicly add controls to the Panel control the controls are getting places at the next line (I did not add a <br>) instead of at the same line (the horizontal scrollbar should appear now).

Hi guys I'm using a div to create a list with ajax stuff. At the moment, the div shows a scrollbar if the content is larger than the div. The problem is that if it isnt, the scrollbar disappears and all my content resizes, which obviously I don't want. I know I can use overflow: auto on the div, but that shows a horizontal scrollbar as well, and I don't need that - and because it's obvious I don't

Hello all, as a non-professional in these things, I searched for this topic but found no satisfying answer: I have to create a site with 3 frames. (Please no diskussion about the sense of using frames...) The main frame has to show a vertical scrollbar if content is bigger than one display page. This works well, but:

I have a user control that needs to allow vertical scrolling but not horizontal scrolling. In the user control's resize event, I need to adjust the size of all the children controls. For this to work correctly, I need the AutoScroll to not enable the horizontal scrollbar. After researching MSDN, I found the HScroll which can be used to disable horizontal scrolling when the AutoScroll mode is enabled. However, when I disable HScroll,...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
