Colouring Bars

ok Robert it is in detail

I have seen in various applications that Scroll bars are of different fascinating colours and of attractive styles as well.

what i want to ask is that how can we change colour of VB6 horizontal/vertical scroll bars .

Bundle of Thx.

I have seen this long ago

VB Code:

'In a form
 
Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Call Hook(Me.hWnd)
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
    Call Unhook(Me.hWnd)
End Sub
 
 
 
'In a standard module 
Option Explicit
 
Private Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, _
                                                                            ByVal nIndex As Long, _
                                                                            ByVal dwNewLong As Long) _
                                                                            As Long
Private Declare Function CallWindowProc Lib "user32" Alias "CallWindowProcA" (ByVal lpPrevWndFunc As Long, _
                                                                              ByVal hWnd As Long, _
                                                                              ByVal Msg As Long, _
                                                                              ByVal wParam As Long, _
                                                                              ByVal lParam As Long) _
                                                                              As Long
Private Declare Function DefWindowProc Lib "user32" Alias "DefWindowProcA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, _
                                                                            ByVal wMsg As Long, _
                                                                            ByVal wParam As Long, _
                                                                            ByVal lParam As Long) _
                                                                            As Long
Private Declare Function CreateSolidBrush Lib "gdi32" (ByVal crColor As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function DeleteObject Lib "gdi32" (ByVal hObject As Long) As Long
 
Private Const GWL_WNDPROC = (-4)
Private Const WM_CTLCOLORSCROLLBAR = &H137
 
Private mPrevProc As Long
 
Public Sub Hook(hWnd As Long)
    mPrevProc = SetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_WNDPROC, AddressOf WndProc)
End Sub
 
Public Sub Unhook(hWnd As Long)
 
    Call SetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_WNDPROC, mPrevProc)
    mPrevProc = 0&
 
End Sub
 
Public Function WndProc(ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal uMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
On Error Resume Next
 
Static hBrush As Long
 
    If uMsg = WM_CTLCOLORSCROLLBAR Then
        If hBrush = 0 Then hBrush = CreateSolidBrush(vbRed) 'For a red background
        
        WndProc = hBrush
        Exit Function
    End If
 
    'Call DeleteObject(hBrush)
 
    If mPrevProc Then
        WndProc = CallWindowProc(mPrevProc, hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam)
    Else
        WndProc = DefWindowProc(hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam)
    End If
 
End Function
