set scroll bar for text edit box

[Mauro_Gerber]

It would be nice to be able to set a scroll bar for text edit box directly without the workaround with the Scroll Box().

teb = text edit box("",set width(200),set nlines(15));
teb << Set Scrollers( h, v );

So when you enter more then  15 items you can scroll down.

I still think this should be implemented.

It is sometimes required to limit N Lines in Text Edit Box and then editing the text comes very difficult because there is no scroll bar (also the text jumps around a LOT when you compare the text in Text Edit Box when it isn't selected and when it is selected, which makes it even more difficult). You can use Scroll Box it it won't work nicely when you want to edit text and I think you have to calculate height based on the font (and font size):

Names Default To Here(1);

nw = New Window("",
	V List Box(
		H List Box(
			window:teb1 = Text Edit Box("", << Set Width(300), << Set N Lines(5), << Set Wrap(250)),
			V Scroll Box(
				Size(85), // should be calculated based on font size
				window:teb2 = Text Edit Box("", << Set Width(300), << Set Wrap(250)),
			)
		),
		Button Box("Close",
			nw << Close Window;
		)
	)
);
