I was just wondering if anybody knows how to fix the scrollbar problem with the TextBox control in WinForms. When I set ScrollBars.Horizontal, it still doesn't show up, even when the text extends the width of the textbox.
Here's the code I'm using:
t.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Horizontal;
I've searched on Google, Bing and MSDN, but all I keep seeing are Custom TextBox control's made by other people which is not what I'm after. I'm not opposed to the idea, but all I really want is to use a simple, standard control. Has anybody had this sort of problem before?

It'll only work if Multiline is true and WordWrap is false.

Sorry DaveyM69 I should have also mentioned that WordWrap is false and that Multiline is also set to true. MKy bad. Thanks for your response though.

Don't make accusations based on bullshi7. I only created this account no more than an hour ago. Idiot. I have not re-posted anything, ever.

Nice one. You want to become popular right away?

I'm sorry Luc, I don't mean to offend you, or
anybody
for that matter, but I stand by my statement. I'm not proud of what I said, but I don't like being accused of doing something that I haven't done. I've been accused of such things in the past on other forums and won't tolerate it anymore.
I completely understand that if a message hasn't been answered right away that obviously other people don't know the answer OR don't feel like replying OR are too busy OR etc etc... Nobody on here has to give help. And I understand that.
What I don't understand is how someone could accuse me of re-posting when it obviously isn't the case.
Anyway, I think I might go and find another forum or something where I feel more relaxed and don't get accused of reposting.

Hi iscript,
chill out man. the reply you've got earlier probably was ill-advised. However that is no reason for name calling; we do get a lot of new members who are not familiar with the site rules, and start posting similar questions everywhere and all the time; and create several accounts for no good reasons. So we sometimes are on the defensive here.
I hope you'll get answers to your questions, and you learn to value this site, as CodeProject is a wonderful community.
Cheers.

Thank you Luc, for making me feel welcome.
I'm sorry to hear that you're (C.P Members) on the defensive at times due to similar questions. That must be irritating. I'll be on my best behavior from now on. I'm going to apologize to that person now.
Thanks

Hi Stancrm,
Thanks for the link. I should have mentioned in my original post that I already had Word-Wrap set to false and Multiline set to true, I completely forgot to mention it. As for my insult, I'm sorry I lashed out at you like I did, it wasn't very nice. I'm sorry.

You didn't search too hard then - its on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.textbox.scrollbars.aspx[^]
It says that Horizontal scroll bars are only avaiable when Wordwrap is set to false. So, either you have wordwrap on, or you have multiline off - in which case there is no space for a scroll bar so you don't get one either.

I have multiline set to true and wordwrap set to false. The horizontal scrollbar has always worked. But for some reason it doesn't work anymore. It never shows up.

I just tried it (VS 2008 SP1) and I got it/them. As long as you also allowed space for the scroll bar.

In my application I have a MainMenu docked to the top, a ToolStrip docked beneith the MainMenu, a StatusStrip docked to the bottom and a TextBox control docked to fill the remaining part of the Form (in the middle). So maybe it's not working simply because there is a StatusStrip directly under it. Hmm... But then again, it has worked in the past. Which is why I'm confused.
I tried the code found in the pages I visited from the links above (replies) but even though the code is different, I have the same problem.
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

Hi All,
I am developing one IE add on which detects HTML document events like click, change etc.
Now, I want to add the functionality like capturing menu bar clicks, toolbar clicks or address bar click.
I am searching in MSHTML & SHDOCVW dll, but not got anything relevant to this.
If anyone has the idea, how can I achieve this, please let me know.
Thanks In Advance

I have a situation like follows :
void EventHandler(Function arguments)
{
//Set of global variables takes in values from the Function arguments
Example :
Sum = Function Argument1;
Value = Function Argument2;
//Makes a call to Function (say, 'FunctionProcess') with the respective values.
Example :
FunctionProcess(Sum,Value);
}
My query is that what happens if I receive an event and am in the middle of processing the so called "FunctionProcess" and i receive another event. The new event has different values of 'Sum' and 'Value'. What would be the result? Would it crash the normal functioning of the program?

That can't happen in a 'normal' situation as each method call including your event handler is sychronous (blocking).
If there is any threading going on, that can happen however, and you would need to lock the values.

Adding to Dave's reply, a lot of handlers execute on the main thread (aka GUI thread). Obviously that thread can only do one thing at a time, so it deals with the messages from its input queue one by one. That is why changing a Label.Text and performing a lengthy operation in one handler only shows the changed text after the operation has finished.
However there is a whole bunch of asynchronous handlers (mostly "input handlers" such as for networking, SerialPort, etc) that run on different threads, normally ThreadPool threads. I did a little experiment[^] on the subject. One of the conclusions is methods called from such handlers could be running concurrently, depending on the source of the event. Say two serial ports calling the same method. So if you are not sure, do at least one of the following:
- check the documentation (it often isn't very specific on this issue);
- perform a little experiment (as I did);
- when still in doubt, or to make sure, provide a synchronization mechanism (maybe use a lock); be careful though since that may cause new issues.
