ScrollableText field appears on _ScrollText dialog after it. But it's empty =(
It's still empty if I write some property in Property field.
Im puzzled. Any ideas?

The text property must contain RTF text, not ANSI.
RTF is a special format with additional instructions for font, color etc.
Start Wordpad, enter some text, and save it as RTF. Open this file in Notepad: you'll see a large text starting with
{\rtf\ansi
and so on.
Creating RTF is not as hard as it appears.
Why do you create a control at runtime? You can also show/hide a control, depending on conditions.
*Edit*
The RTF format is explained on MSDN. Usually you don't want to use all features, so look up the features you need and write them. Creating RTF viewers is much harder, because they must implement all possibilities of the RTF standard.

Thnks a lot. That is it!
But I'm still puzzled - when I have saved simple TXT file with RTF extention - it opened as RTF without any problem...
Anyway, runtime filing works. Thks.
