Hi!

See notes below...

>Can VFP8 turn off the scrollbars on a list box? I have an application using listboxes in a container. They are positioned in the container so that the scrollbar is not visible. However, when you move the container under program control the scrollbars will often be visible outside the container. Perhaps this is just a bug in VFP 7's screen refresh routines but it would be useful if I could tuen the scroll bars off. It woul also be useful if moving the slider on a listbox trigger and event.

In VFP8 seems many refreshing problems are fixed, so you can *hope* to expect scroll bars will not flicker outside of the container that clips them. Anyway, who knows. Did you tried to submit this as a bug-report to MS?

You can use also a few ActiveX controls that allow switch off scrollbars, as well as a grid control designed to look like a list box, but without scroll bars.

>Is there a wordwrap feature for the editbox so that the text did not always wrap in the control? Sometimes it is better to have long lines that do not wrap when you want to use the editbox to list items one row at a time.

No, there is no such feature. I can suggest you to use some ActiveX in this case, such as ListView, WEB Browser or DHTMLEdit controls (RTF control behaves the same as VFP EditBox).

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
