Tried the search…no such luck…  
I have a textField that loads content dynamically. Sometimes the text that is loaded will not fit in the Field, so I have the need for a scrollbar. But I want to hide the scrollbar when the text is not greater then the textField. I’ve seen it before somewhere, but I can’t find it anywhere.

Pleez help.
