Hello,
I am trying to understand the behavior a textbox. I currently have a textbox with the TextFromat = Rich Text. I populate this textbox with an html string that I assemble through some VBA. I form a bulleted list that changes quite frequently. The data is a preview for every user to see what they've submitted to the database. I'm quite happy with the html and formatting so I really don't want to change that.
The Problem: In an attempt to not confuse the user I have disabled the textbox. (I don't want them thinking that editing the text in the textbox changes what they put into the backend) In doing so I also apparently disabled the ability for the user to use the scroll bars!
I've done some experimenting and now I see that if I enable the textbox, the scrollbars will appear, but all of the text is highlighted... I'm confused with this behavior and why Access behaves this way.
What I Want: I want the user to be able to scroll (vertically) using this textbox, but I do not want the user to be able to edit any of the information in it. I basically want the entire box to be disabled except for the ability to scroll... I just want to display the info, I did some searching for this but haven't found any clear answers. Links are always appreciated!!
Thank you good people
