Think of it as "locked down", maybe that will help. It's locking the 
location, i.e., the rectangle, so it won't move.

The scrollbars should automatically go blank if the group fully encloses 
its contents, and draw the thumb if it doesn't. If you mean you want to 
remove them entirely, check the formattedwidth and formattedheight of 
the group, compare those to the width and height (the locked rect) and 
hide/show the scrollbars as needed.
