Adding scrollbar to Edit control

[DanielDaniel]

Hi all,

I use the following code to add a multiline edit control to my form:

GUICtrlCreateEdit($line, 10, 80, 50, 310, $ES_MULTILINE)

Works great, but does anyone know how I can add scrollbars (horizontal and vertical) to the control if it contains more text than can be displayed?

Thanks,

DanielDaniel

DanielDaniel,

By specifying a style, you have overwritten the default style which holds the scrollbars.

So you need to add them back in. Two possibilities:

- 1. Use the default style and add $ES_MULTILINE.

- 2. Add all the required styles yourself.

I strongly suggest reading the Setting Styles tutorial in the Wiki - it goes into much more detail and shows how you should add additional styles.
