    My app displays large selections of text and does the display very simply and smoothly. I would like to make some improvements to the scrolling though.

    I started out just using a mainScreen, and adding a RichTextField with my large block of text. Although this works, on the side I would like to see a scroll bar (I'd like the user to get an idea of how much farther he needs to scroll) instead of the scroll arrows that mainScreen shows. I would also like to be able to detect how far the user has scrolled, and scroll to a particular point in the text.

    So my question is first - In order to detect and manipulate scrolling in the textfield, I think I will need to restrict the size of the textfield, otherwise the manager puts it as big as it can and the textfield never really scrolls, the scrolling only happens at the manager level. How can I restrict the size of the textfield?

    Second - Will this also give me the scroll bars I want, or is there something else I need to do?

    I appreciate any help you might offer.
