[2005] Tab Page Autoscoll Behavior

[neef]

The autoscroll on a tab page I made doesn't support the scrolling of the page while the scroll bar is being adjusted - only after the user lets go of the left mouse button does the tabpage move instantly to it's new and correct location.

Another way to explain it is that nothing moves in the tabpage while the scroll bar is in use. It's a cheesy kind of scrolling that is a headache because you can't properly target how far you want to scroll without seeing how far you've gone.

Panels don't do this so there's a solution (just slap a panel on the tabpage and let IT do the autoscroll work), but I was just wondering if I may have missed a simple setting, or if the autoscroll for tabpages is not well implemented in general.

As always thanx!

I just tested a Panel and a TabPage and they both auto-scrolled the same way; the way you want. I'm not sure why it wouldn't do so for you. Try it with a brand new project and see if it works then.

That is strange for sure...

I only have a moment and can't do the test you suggested yet, but I thought that perhaps because I have generated my tabpage dynamically rather than through the designer there might be some property I've missed.

I'll do the new project test and post the results here.
