STILL UNRESOLVED. Vertical Scroll Bars

Hi All.

I have pretty much finished a package i have been working on for a while, but have hit a bl**dy big glitch. All the data in the invoice form will not display on screen without a vertical scroll bar. How can i insert one without re-doing the forms?

How do you get it to scroll the whole form, and obviously print the whole form at the end?

This is desperately urgent, so any help would be much appreciated. If anyone has any code snippets that would be gr8.

Cheers all.

You can add a vertical scrollbar to a form by setting the window style WS_VSCROLL and subclassing it to manage the WM_SCROLL messages...I have wrapped this functionality in the EventVB.dll which you could use by adding this to your form:-

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Dim WithEvents vbLink As EventVB.APIFunctions
Dim WithEvents vbWnd As New ApiWindow
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
 
 
Set vbLink = New APIFunctions
 
Set vbWnd = New ApiWindow
vbWnd.hWnd = Me.hWnd
 
With vbWnd
    .ScrollBars = vbVertical
    .VirtualHeight = 1000
    .AutoScroll = True
End With
 
vbLink.SubclassedWindows.Add vbWnd
 
 
End Sub

Hope this helps,
Duncan

Cheers for the quick response m8y, but you sorta lost me a bit.

I have copied the script into VB Sub_Formload procedure... and it says "Invalid use of new keyword" ??

Sorry if i'm missing something stupid here... fairly new to this...

Thanks in advance.

Have you downloaded EventVB.dll?

yes... where do i put it... without being rude !lol

I am not sure, but I think you need to register it. Put it in your windows system directory and try this:
regsvr32 <path_to_Eventvb.dll>

How to add an ActiveX dll to a VB project

Open your project in Visual basic
Select the menu Project::References
In the resulting dialog box press the Browse... button
Find the EventVB_H.dll and double click on it
Press OK on the references dialog box.

hey
i just got done with a program(well most of it). If you add a rich text box to the form then just go to the scroll bar property in the rich text box and it will add scroll bars for u.
with out any code
