  I have a grid that has a cell with large amounts of text. I can’t figure out how to create scroll bars inside that cell when its selected. I’m assuming I have to do something with owner draw but I can’t figure it out…

  Hi Michael!

  I would like to suggest you a simpler way for this, using Editor property of column and AfterRowColChange event of the grid.
  
  You can set following properties of TextBox control and assign this to the column’s Editor :

  TextBox txtBox = new TextBox();
  txtBox.Multiline = true;
  txtBox.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Both;
  txtBox.WordWrap = true;
  c1FlexGrid1.Cols[1].Editor = txtBox;
  

  Next, you can start editing for the selected cell.

  private void C1FlexGrid1_AfterRowColChange(object sender, RangeEventArgs e)
  {
              if(c1FlexGrid1.Cols[e.NewRange.c1].Editor is TextBox)
              {
                  TextBox txtBox = c1FlexGrid1.Cols[e.NewRange.c1].Editor as TextBox;
                  c1FlexGrid1.StartEditing(e.NewRange.r1, e.NewRange.c1);
                  txtBox.SelectionStart = txtBox.Text.Length;
              }
  }
  

  Attached is the sample for your reference.
