RTFBox Scrollbars

[Lympex]

Hi,

Anyone know how to make your own scrollbars for a rich text box, not using the one's which are already built in? And also making it so it works even with wordwrap?

Is it even possible? I will be grateful for any responce.

Thanks a lot

You can make them Flat (looks cool )

Play around with this code (I haven't yet)

Const WS_VSCROLL = &H200000
Const WS_HSCROLL = &H100000
Const GWL_STYLE = (-16)

Const WSB_PROP_HBKGCOLOR = &H80
Const WSB_PROP_VSTYLE = &H100
Const WSB_PROP_HSTYLE = &H200
Const WSB_PROP_WINSTYLE = &H400
Const WSB_PROP_PALETTE = &H800
Const WSB_PROP_MASK = &HFFF
Const FSB_FLAT_MODE = 2
Const FSB_ENCARTA_MODE = 1
Const FSB_REGULAR_MODE = 0

Const SB_HORZ = 0
Const SB_VERT = 1
Const SB_BOTH = 3

Const ESB_ENABLE_BOTH = &H0

Const SIF_RANGE = &H1
Const SIF_PAGE = &H2
Const SIF_POS = &H4
Const SIF_ALL = (SIF_RANGE Or SIF_PAGE Or SIF_POS)
