TextBox and Scrollbars

[msnews.microsoft.com]

Note: I'm using VS "Whidbey" Beta 1 Refresh.

I am atttempting to display a modest amount of text using a Textbox control
on my webapp. I am using the TextBox since it offers the option to format
the text somewhat (paragraph breaks). The problem I have is that a vertical
scrollbar appears (greyed out since there isn't *that* much text). I don't
want them to ever appear. There is no scrollbar property that I can find for
this beast. What are my options?

Cheers
John

You can achieve this with style sheets.

Just add a
style="overflow:hidden"
attribute to your textbox.

You can also define a style sheet class with the same style, and assign it
to the CssClass property of the textbox.

Hi John,

I think you'll want to look at a style attribute for this. The overflow
attribute lets you set the status of scrollbars:
