Hi all!
I need to display some informative text in a window. Usually the text consists of a few short lines but sometimes the number of lines is very large.
Is there a way for the text to be displayed in a fixed size window and have a scrollbar allow the user to see the rest of the text?
For that matter, is there a way to wrap anything in a fixed-sized container that allows further exploration of hidden content via a scrollbar?
Thanks a bunch!
