Scroll Bars on Folder

Is it possible to add scrollbars to a sheet on a folder component? We're fixing some code that writes text to the sheet, highlighting the odd character along the way, but the text is sometimes longer and wider than the sheet length/width.

I can add the scroll bars but
a) how do I link them in code to the sheet?
b) will they work on the sheet as I want?

Is the text on the sheet in the form of a Label control?

One way (although possibly not the best) to do this is to add a Picture control to the sheet which has scroll bars. Remove the bordr off the control and make it transparent so it is invisible. Add the label to the Picture control instead of the sheet. When the width of the label control exceeds the width of the Picture control, horizontal scroll bars should appear. You will probaly want to set "autoSize=true" on the label.
