ScrollBars, how do I use them

[kryten]

I have a picture box, filled with a list of labels. I'm currently using two buttons to scroll the list up and down. I want to use the scrollbars instead, but dont know where to start.

Any tips?

Private Sub Form_Load()
 VScroll1.Min = 0
 VScroll1.Max = 50
End Sub

Private Sub VScroll1_Change()
 Label1.Top = VScroll1.Value
End Sub

Private Sub VScroll1_Scroll()
 Call VScroll1_Change
End Sub

I really didn't understand what you meant by Labels for a picture box. But anyway trying an array and use Value property of Scroll Bar for showing the element at a particular index

Hi
I think what you are after is to display labels in a picture box and to have the whole display scroll as you click the scroll bars. This is achieved by having a picture box within a picture box and scrolling accordingly. I have given a very basic example but you can experiment and add features as required. Pls note that you should also consider whether scrolling data is really necessary in your design because it sometimes confuses users.

Example... On Form1 Add a Picture box (Picture1)... INSIDE this picture box add a Vertical Scroll bar (VScroll1) on the right side of the picture. Again INSIDE Picture 1 add another Picture box (Picture2)... This now makes Picture1 the container for Picture 2 and VScroll1. Now add this code

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Picture1.Height = 3000
    Picture2.Height = 5000
    VScroll1.Height = 3000
 
    VScroll1.Min = 0
    VScroll1.Max = (Picture2.Height - Picture1.Height) / 100
End Sub
 
Private Sub VScroll1_Change()
    Picture2.Top = -VScroll1.Value * 100
End Sub

As I said, this is VERY basic and you can adjust as required.
