gtk_scrolled_window_set_policy ()

void        gtk_scrolled_window_set_policy  (GtkScrolledWindow
*scrolled_window,
                                             GtkPolicyType
hscrollbar_policy,
                                             GtkPolicyType
vscrollbar_policy);

Sets the scrollbar policy for the horizontal and vertical scrollbars.
The policy determines when the scrollbar should appear; it is a value
from the GtkPolicyType enumeration. If GTK_POLICY_ALWAYS, the scrollbar
is always present; if GTK_POLICY_NEVER, the scrollbar is never present;
if GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC, the scrollbar is present only if needed (that
is, if the slider part of the bar would be smaller than the trough - the
display is larger than the page size).
