The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

ScrollBars do not appear in a Multiline TextBox. Note that this occurs only in
the emulation environment and not on the remote device.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This behavior occurs only in the Windows CE Platform SDK version 2.0 emulation
environment.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Start a new Windows CE (HPC) Project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by
  default.

2. Add three TextBoxes to Form1.

3. Make the following property settings:

  +-----------------------------------------+
  | Control       | Property   | Setting    | 
  +-----------------------------------------+
  | All TextBoxes | MultiLine  | True       | 
  +-----------------------------------------+
  | Text1         | ScrollBars | Horizontal | 
  +-----------------------------------------+
  | Text2         | ScrollBars | Vertical   | 
  +-----------------------------------------+
  | Text3         | ScrollBars | Both       | 
  +-----------------------------------------+

4. Press the F5 key to run the program, and note that the ScrollBars do not
  appear when the application executes.
