c# textbox scroll

Solution 1

You have to set both ScrollBars and WordWrap like this:

textBox1.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Both;
textBox1.WordWrap = false;

NOTE: All the settings above are done 1 time. No need to place the code in the TextChanged event handler.

Solution 2

you don't need to write a code for this. Just change the properties of textBox. For both scroll bars, if Multiline set to True, then set ScrollBars to Both and set WordWrap to False in properties. No need for writing code at all since this is for WinForms.

Solution 3

private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    textBox1.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Both;     
}

ScrollBars.[Value] is an enum: Valid values are Horizontal, Vertical, None, and Both.

For some reason only adding a vertical scroll bar works with my code.

I can't seem to add BOTH a vertical and horizontal scroll bar.
```
private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    textBox1.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Vertical;     
}
```

I tried the code you suggested but now I have no scroll bars. Strange ?

@user2788405 have you checked out my solution? Looks like you even don't know where to put my code?

@user2788405 try putting some text in there. You should also make sure that TextMode is set to MultiLine.

@KingKing appreciate your help. I did exactly what you told me too. Made a newtextbox, and copy pasted your code into my main. I imported a textfile that's too large horizontally and vertically in my textbox but I see no scroll bars. Thanks for the help

@user2788405 where did you post my code? It should be somewhere like in your form constructor.

@user2788405 in fact, you don't need to copy and paste the text into your textbox to see the scrollbars, the scrollbars should be visible with my code (although they look like disabled).

Weird, This still gives me just the Vertical Scrollbar, and continues to wrap strings to long to fit into one line.

Provide code to support your text. All I see is a lot of letters jumbled into one paragraph.
