RE: More help for a newbie

What are you platform needs? If you need to support OS 9, the answers will
change...


1. If you can go Panther only, look at he new HITextView. If Jaguar or later
look at the YASTControl sample code on apple's web site and if you need OS
9, you'll ned to use MLTE directly (MacTextEditor.h)

2. You can either use a Static Text control. Or a Unicode Edit Text control
with the "read only" property set or a MLTE object with the read only flag
set.

3. You should look at the DataBrowser control which supports that behavior

4. Scrolling Text Box control is kinda usless, it basically lets you scroll
static text like in an about box. It does not support editable text or
scrollbars.
