Hi

I'm writing a program in which I want to display quite a bit of information on a page. Ideally I'd like an uneditable textfield with a scrollbar which I could populate with the text and allow the user to scroll down.

Unfortunately I can't see how to do this. The TEXTFIELD$$ statement will not include a scrollbar (any text beyond the size of the textfield gets lost), and I can't see any other way to display the information.

I can create a Form in a resource file and include a Textfield which I can select as uneditable and include a scrollbar, but then the only way to populate this field is with the UPDATEFIELD statement, but this will not let me pass the full text because of the limitation of variable size. This may have worked if there was such a thing as an UPDATEFIELD$$ statement.

What I would ideally be after is something similar to the ADVICEBOX statement but able to populate a textfield instead, with an optional scrollbar if the text exceeds the size of the textfield.

Can anyone help with how to achieve this?

Thanks.
