Using the rich textbox control, in the init of the form if I try to set a property's value (like scrollbars) it returns the error that the property is readonly. So far i have only been able to change it by using the properties sheet or the activex richtextctrl properties (right clicking on the control and selecting its properties there)

>>>FWIW, you may be better off just using a textbox control and making it ReadOnly. The user will still be able to click in the box and move all the way to the end to see the value. You can also set the ToolTip property of the control to its value.
