Annoying text scroll in Textbox
Hi Foxpro Expert,
I'm having an annyoning problem with the Foxpro Textbox control in VFP9 (SP2).
When the control has focus and the mouse cursor is moved to the right while the left mouse button is down, the text in the Textbox scrolls to the left and disappears eventually.
Because I'm using a drag and drop function for a Textbox control (in a grid), it is very disturbing to see the text scroll and disappear instead of the normal drag action of the textbox.
This doesn't happen every time by the way, sometimes the dragging of the textbox works fine and sometime nothing is dragged and the text scrolls to the left and disappears.
I made the Textbox readonly, but no result. I Googled, but found nothing on this.
It's easy to simulate the described behaviour.
Simple put the mouse cursor in a Textbox, press the left mouse button and move the cursor to the left...
Thanks for any help

If you strictly require textboxes without this scrolling feature but enabled for manual text entry then you have to place two textboxes on the same place. The one on top is disabled and the other one is enabled. Every character entered into enabled textbox has to be copied to the disabled textbox. Scrolling is allowed but not visible... Stupid idea, isn't it?
Set the InputMask for the TextBox to be small: "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Or specify the width of the textbox to be more than that it can display.
Or us an editbox instead.

I am still convinced you are not human but a stupid piece of software.
Could you read this thread again and then mark ID: 24635234 as the answer?
