Display scroll bar in textbox when contents are beyond the bounds C#
Consider using the RichTextBox -- it has that behavior built in.
Public Class TextBoxScrollbarPlugin
Private WithEvents mTarget As TextBox
''' <summary>
''' After the Handle is created, mTarget.IsHandleCreated always returns
''' TRUE, even after HandleDestroyed is fired.
''' </summary>
''' <remarks></remarks>
Private mIsHandleCreated As Boolean = False
Public Sub New(item As TextBox)
mTarget = item
mIsHandleCreated = mTarget.IsHandleCreated
End Sub
Private Sub Update()
If Not mTarget.IsHandleCreated Then
Return
ElseIf Not mIsHandleCreated Then
Return
End If
Dim textBoxRect = TextRenderer.MeasureText(mTarget.Text,
mTarget.Font,
New Size(mTarget.Width, Integer.MaxValue),
TextFormatFlags.WordBreak + TextFormatFlags.TextBoxControl)
Try
If textBoxRect.Height > mTarget.Height Then
mTarget.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Vertical
Else
mTarget.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.None
End If
Catch ex As System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception
'this sometimes throws a "failure to create window handle"
'error.
'This might happen if the TextBox is unvisible and/or
'to small to display a toolbar.
If mLog.IsWarnEnabled Then mLog.Warn("Update()", ex)
End Try
End Sub
Private Sub mTarget_HandleCreated(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles mTarget.HandleCreated
mIsHandleCreated = True
End Sub
Private Sub mTarget_HandleDestroyed(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles mTarget.HandleDestroyed
mIsHandleCreated = False
End Sub
Private Sub mTarget_SizeChanged(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles mTarget.SizeChanged
Update()
End Sub
Private Sub mTarget_TextChanged(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles mTarget.TextChanged
Update()
End Sub
End Class
Private mPlugins As New List(Of Object)
Private Sub Form_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
mPlugins.Add(New TextBoxScrollbarPlugin(txtBoxOne))
mPlugins.Add(New TextBoxScrollbarPlugin(txtBoxTwo))
mPlugins.Add(New TextBoxScrollbarPlugin(txtBoxThree))
End Sub
Thanks dummy, it works! Here short version of dummy answer in c#
Call this code at the end of your SizeChanged and TextChanged handlers:
Size textBoxRect = TextRenderer.MeasureText(
this.YourTextBox.Text,
this.YourTextBox.Font,
new Size(this.YourTextBox.Width, int.MaxValue),
TextFormatFlags.WordBreak | TextFormatFlags.TextBoxControl);
try
{
this.YourTextBox.ScrollBars = textBoxRect.Height > this.YourTextBox.Height ?
ScrollBars.Vertical :
ScrollBars.None;
} catch (System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception)
{
// this sometimes throws a "failure to create window handle" error.
// This might happen if the TextBox is unvisible and/or
// too small to display a toolbar.
}
