Scrolls on MDI

[joey o.]

Hi

I'm using MDI with child windows maximized with no caption bar on them for a drawing program. I want to have the child windows dynamically get a vertical scroll bar on the side when the drawing exceeds the bounds of the bottom of the top horizontally alligned tool box (picture1) or the top of the bottom horizontally alligned tool box (picture2). Any insight to doing this? I do not object to writing my own but I need some insight. I'm using streight VB and API. Don't want to use DX because I want this app to work for 98 through XP without issues or additional required downloads. Please help.

Thanks, but my overhead is already pretty high and this will reduce my resources by one more dc which I dearly need. I don't nessesarily want the easy way just some background on how to write a scrollable childform that's already maximized to the dimensions of the screen. For one thing I need to override the top allingnment of the window to go up further. Any ideas?

This is all set. I only had to set the child width to screenwidth, set the child height to screenheight instead of using vb's maximized property. Then I just dragged the window up and down using the y value only and set limmits so it wouldn't show anything behind it. It leads me to a new question though that I'll submit in a new thread
