Hi there,

My problem is, that I can load text from a notepad file, but when I load that text into a scroll bar box, the scroll bar doesn’t work. It seems like for the scrool bar the text doesn’t exist…

My question is:

```
                      Can I use text loaded from a external file into a textbox with a scroll bar?-if yes, how?

```
