scroll bar attachment

how can we attach a scroll bar with a vb form

[MartinLiss]

I assume you mean that you have a long form and you want to be able to scroll the form up and down. Here is one way of doing it. Put a picturebox on the form, and place all your current controls in that picturebox. Add a vertical scroll bar at the very right had side of the form (not in the picturebox). Then add the following code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Me.BorderStyle = 1 ' Don't allow the user the expand the form
    Form1.Height = 10000 ' The actual height of the form
    Picture1.Top = 0
    Picture1.Left = 0
    Picture1.Width = Me.Width - (VScroll1.Width + 120)
    Picture1.Height = 13600 ' I don't understand why 10000 doesn't work
                            ' here. In any case, experiment with the height
                            ' so it is the full height of the form.
    VScroll1.Max = Me.Height
    VScroll1.SmallChange = 100
    VScroll1.LargeChange = 4000
    Me.Height = 4000
    VScroll1.Height = Me.ScaleHeight
End Sub


Private Sub VScroll1_Change()
Picture1.Top = -(VScroll1.Value)
End Sub
