Try this

Public Declare Function EnableScrollBar Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hWnd As Long, _
ByVal wSBflags As Long, ByVal wArrows As Long) As Long
 
'SCROLLBAR CONSTS
Public Const SB_HORZ As Long = 0

Public Const ESB_DISABLE_LEFT = &H1
Public Const ESB_DISABLE_RIGHT = &H2
Public Const ESB_DISABLE_UP = &H1
Public Const ESB_ENABLE_BOTH = &H0
 
'Example usage for disabling:

I`m a new one please help me more. I paste this code in form code but it give me some errors..

What errors did it give and on what lines did the errors occur?

[RoYeti]

Compile errors:

Only comments may appear after End Sub, End function, or End proprerty

This tells me that you have pasted the code in the wrong place on the form.

The API declare should be in the Form's declaration section along with the constants declarations.

The calls should be placed in an event, such as a Form_Load event or a button's click event.

i put in the Form_Load but say`s the same thing and select me the first 2 lines

 Public Declare Function EnableScrollBar Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hWnd As Long, _
ByVal wSBflags As Long, ByVal wArrows As Long) As Long

You don't put this in the Form_Load. This goes in the Form's declaration section.

Open a code window. In the upper left hand corner will be a drop down box. Drop that down and locate "General" Click on General.

This will take you to the declarations section. Put that code there.

The hWnd property of WebBrowser control may generate runtime error.
This page has an alternative function to get Webbrowser's hWnd.

By the way, Hack, your code is not working for Webbrowser control (WinXP-SP2, VB6-SP6). As far as I can remember, somewhere in the web I read that, the scrollbar of webbrowser control is a 'html thing'. It may not be removed this way.

Ok...I've never had the need nor desire to use the webbrowser control, so I just posted code that I've used on scrollbars of other controls. If my code doesn't work, then how would the member accomplish his goal?

Sorry Hack. I didn't meant to sound rude.

I was looking for this solution a few months ago. All pages I found in Google says that it can be done by only changing HTML code. Like, this one or this one

But they are not very useful if we want to show a webpage, instead of a picture.

This code by Francesco Balena uses GetSystemMetrics to get the size of the scrollbars and hide them behind a container picturebox.

We could use this idea or,

My idea is, when we get the height/width of scrollbars, just resizing the webbrowser may hide the scrollbars outside the form's client area. (instead of using a picturebox, we'll use the form. As it is already the contaier of webbrowser control)

I'm sorry again if I sounded rude.

Edit: None of them are the 'perfect' solution. I'll be greatful if someone can give a more acceptable solution. I'm still searching for the solution.

You didn't at all.

In fact, in re-reading my post, I think I may sounded a little rude, but that wasn't my intension either.

So, the bottom line of what you are telling me is that as far as you know, there are no real, clean, ways of disabling the webbrowser scrollbars? Right?

Yes. That's what I found (or didn't found ) by searching.

Dear Sir,
Today only i visited this forum and found it very useful.

I know programming in VB6, and currently facing a problem.
The problem is that i want to open the link on my webbrowser control in in a new window.
If i am using the right click > open in new window then i am able to catch it via..

Private Sub wb_NewWindow2(index As Integer, ppDisp As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
  ........
  .........
  frmMain.wb(new_index).RegisterAsBrowser = True
  Set ppDisp = frmMain.wb(new_index).Object
End Sub

But what i want is even if somebody click the left mouse button on a link, i shall be able to open it in a new window (with session maintained).

Second thing is that i want to scroll the loaded page programatically (pagedown/pageup).

Is it possible to do the above two actions?

WebBrowser1.Document.body.setattribute "scroll", "no"

try this
