@Mooseman nor were the dinosaurs featherless as the movies like to make them appear, but they still draw that way because "cool". Are you saying that your T-Rex can't be cool because it didn't exist with that green scaly skin but actually probably looked more like an angry, giant chicken?

furthermore, even that would just prove I am right. You said that the ponies don't exist, yet someone felt the urge to draw them and bring them to reality. When they did the same with your pterodactyl they had to actually change it because "no-one would like it if it was covered with feather"....

> As this runs counter to the widespread and long-held image of dinosaurs as dramatic reptiles, the public has been reluctant to accept this new discovery, especially as the addition of feathers often conjures up the image of a giant chicken.

> Had it been discovered that dinosaurs were in fact covered with 6-inch long razor tipped spikes, people may have accepted this immediately as it conforms to the stereotype of dinosaurs as killing machines. There have even been attempts to claim that the feathers did not exist

Q: How do I add a vertical scrollbar to a textbox?

Adapted from this question, my answer no longer applies there anymore so I created a new question for it. The textbox in my program does not have scrollbars or a scrollbar property. I don't know how to add code to it to make it scroll the textbox like normal.

@hichris123 Look at the question it was derived from, the answer isn't appropriate to that question anymore. I simply made a 'how do I add scrollbars to a textbox?' question and provided the answer from the other question. It's not supposed to refer to a specific problem.

@Braiam I suppose I could copy & paste the initial question.

@cybermonkey no, just the relevant parts

@Braiam this is the original:

I am using a theme from the web for my vb.net application and the textbox does not have scrollbars or a scrollbar property. The theme did come with a VScrollBar Control, but I don't know how to add code to it to make it scroll the textbox like normal. Can anyone help me?

It's a Windows Form. (WinForms)

was pretty funny on my original answer, the OP commented saying 'wrong answer, downvoted.', when they didn't even have the priviledges to downvote.

Pandya

Is it ok to recycle like this to this?

In probability theory and statistics, the beta distribution is a family of continuous probability distributions defined on the interval [0, 1] parametrized by two positive shape parameters, denoted by α and β, that appear as exponents of the random variable and control the shape of the distribution. The beta distribution has been applied to model the behavior of random variables limited to intervals of finite length in a wide variety of disciplines.
