Is your textbox dynamic or static? You used the scrollbar component yes? Did you check to make sure in the scrollbar properties that it corresponds to the name of your textbox? Are you using an instance name or a variable name for the textbox?

It is too much size.
Ok i’ll try to tell better
When i assign scrollbar to a dynamic text, it just scrolls till 10th or 11th line of text, it doesnt scroll the rest. Hope you understood
