TAdvMemo scrollers

In TAdvMemo component I've set 'Scrollbars' propertie to ssBoth, but scrollbars appear only after control is in focus (after I click on it). I would like to see scrollbar right away (in design time if possible) even if the component is empty.

We'll need to investigate this.
At this time, it controls which scrollbar(s) will become visible when text exceeds width and/or height.

Even if text exceeds width and/or height scrollbars are not visible until control is in focus. Sometimes scrollbars are not visible even until cursor is moved inside a control.

Assuming you do this from programmatically updating the memo, do the update between
AdvMemo.BeginUpdate

AdvMemo.EndUpdate
calls
