Textarea without scrollbars

I know your probably saying "textfield" right about now, but I have to use a textarea. Is there a way to disable the scroll bars on a textarea?

Textfield!

ho ho ho.

couldnt you try sending some windows messages to the textarea control. I think there are some there to hide/show scrollbars?

I think theres EM_ constants for textbox's, but I havent been able to find them.

This hides the scrollbar. Change "SB_VERT" to "SB_HORZ" to hide the horizontal scrollbar. Change the last parameter to True to show the scrollbar.

Local hWnd = QueryGadget(textarea, QUERY_HWND)
SendMessageA(hWnd, EM_SHOWSCROLLBAR, SB_VERT, False)

it works, but how can it be done that the cursor/text automatically goes into the next line if it reaches the end of a line ?

You can simply switch on the WordWrap for the TextArea:

Local TextArea:TGadget = CreateTextArea:TGadget(100,90,150,120,Window:TGadget,TEXTAREA_WORDWRAP)

Is there a way to do this with Listboxes as well?
Is there a cross platform solution?

What type is "hWnd"? Long, Int? - I'm using superstrict mode.

It's an Integer. ;-)

Thanks! Anyway, the fix above doesn't seem to work on listboxes...
