Hi All,
=20
I am working with the RichTextBox control on a project, and some of its
properties don't seem to have the desired effect. These problems occur
in both VB & C#. =20
=20
In the following code, the horizontal scrollbar does not appear, even
though the ScrollBars property is set to ForcedBoth, and the
AutoWordSelection does not seem to have any effect whatsoever.
=20
Am I missing something or are these known problems.

Thanks.

Hi All,

I am working with the RichTextBox control on a project, and some of its
properties don't seem to have the desired effect. These problems occur

In the following code, the horizontal scrollbar does not appear, even
though the ScrollBars property is set to ForcedBoth, and the
AutoWordSelection does not seem to have any effect whatsoever.

Am I missing something or are these known problems.

Thanks.
