how to use a scrollbar

[Stylewriter]

hi,
I am a noob in vb and now I want to create a form with a vertikal scrollbar at the right border.
but how can I make it, that the scrollbar scrolls ?!
I only have text written in this form and only want it to scroll down...
perhaps you can help me and write and example or so...

thanx a lot,

If you want to know if the scroll bar has been scrolled, check out the event subroutine as you would for the other controls. Use the scroll/change event.

Well, If you're trying to scroll the text that you output to the form using the Print method, you have to do some work to preserve the text. But the easiest way is to just use a Text Box with the MultiLine Property set to true. It will automatically scroll upwards and Downwards.

Anyway, you can get the value of the scrollbar by putting code into the VScrollBar1_Scroll event or VScrollBar1_Change event.
To get an Idea, do the following.

Private Sub VScrollBar1_Scroll
Text1.Text = VScrollBar1.Value
EndSub

sorry guys, I am a total noob
can you perhaps post how I can scroll down with labels?
I have got several labels (named Label1, Label2,...) in a form and want to scroll them up / down...

I have no VB Access right now. But from the top of my head...

'In a form
Dim LastV as Integer
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
LastV = VScrollBar1.Value
End Sub
 
Private Sub VScrollBar1_Scroll()
     'Move the label depending on the scroll
     'If the scroll value increases, subtraction will become addition
     Label1.Top = Label1.Top - (LastV - VScrollBar1.Value)
     'Save the Last scroll value
     LastV = VScrollBar1.Value
End Sub

Add a scrollbar (VScrollBar1) and a label (Label1) to the form

oukei, now the scrolling is possible.
but only in one way
if I press the up or down button the labels scroll down!
if I change the - with + it only scrolls upwards.
how have I got to set the values of the scrollbar?
the max, min, value - values...
sorry about these stupid questions
