Fernando,

Sorry for missing your first message. I get the same problem. It looks as if the scrollbars won't work when adding the control programmatically. I've had similar problems with other activeX controls that worked only when created as a VCX.

I'm not sure if this is an option for you, but I was able to make it work after creating an RTF control in a VCX. Your code works almost unchanged. One thing I had to change was adding CRs to the text and setting a RightMargin. Otherwise, word wrapping occurs and you won't get the horizontal scroll bar.

Have you tried to put some text into the control? You probably know this, but the RichTextControl will only show the scrollbars when there's actual text that exceeds the visible area. This is unlike the behaviour of the VFP EditBox

Please notice, also, that I'm trying to do it all programmatically (I already could make it work visually in the forms designer setting the RTF control properties, not in the form properties sheet, but in the RTF control properties form, by rightclicking over the inserted control in the form).
