Michael,

You cannot do this with BTextControl since the MakeFocus() method is 
not called for the class, since it does not have focus, the BTextView 
has the focus inside the BTextControl... this is the problem. The 
solution is to use a seperate BTextString as the label and a subclass 
of BTextView for the field where you override the MakeFocus() method. 
From there you can trap a change in focus event and send the parent 
view, your scroll view, to make the current BTextView visible by 
scrolling appropriately... :)

Hope this helps. :)
