Returns or sets a value indicating whether a Text Control has horizontal or vertical scroll bars. Scroll bars are automatically hidden when the formatting area is smaller than the control's visible area and vice versa. Therefore this property has only effect if the [PageWidth](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/pagewidth-property/llms-full.txt) and/or the [PageHeight](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/pageheight-property/llms-full.txt) properties have been set to non-zero. See [Text Formatting and Views](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/document-editor/viewing/llms-full.txt) for more information.
