Re: [Pythoncard-users] Getting the number of lines (entries) in a textarea widget

[Tony C. <cap...@gm...>]

I had posted a question a few days ago- regarding Which Text widget to use.
I need a widget with a scroll bar because the list is likely to be
larger that the space for the widget.
I believe the list widget doesn't have a scroll bar, that's why I'm
using the TexArea widget
