I've got a custom control that works fine, it's DockStyle is set to Fill for
the panel it's in.
I've just added a VScrollBar docked Right in the panel. It appears, and
works fine, however in the OnPaint method of my custom control, I need to
know where the scrollbar is, so I can paint the relevant part of my control.
Since the ScrollBar exists in my MainForm, and the customcontrol is a class
of it's own, I can't figure out how to get at it. I was looking at the
Container property on each control, trying to get back to the MainForm,
which I could then get at it from, but apart from not working, that also
only seems to work if you know the index for the control in it's container,
and not if you know the name.
How should I achieve this?

Daisy,
This design is flawed. If you want your control to know where the
scrollbar is, then the form should pass the scrollbar to the control in some
manner so that it can do what it needs to do with it. Either that, or the
control itself should be responsible for displaying the scrollbars, so that
it would know where they are.
Hope this helps.

I thought so!
I'll try attaching scrollbars inside my control. It's DockStyle is set to
Fill, I assume I can just dock scrollbars to the right/bottom from inside my
control?

I would like to "cheat" VScrollBar in DataGrid. That means I want to link
for example
DataTable with 50 rows to DataGrid. But I want, that VScrollBar looks as if
DataTable contains
for example 100 or 1000 rows. Is it possible to do ?
I tried by Maximum properties, but it seems not to work.

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a vScrollBar with a dynamic value. When I change the
maximum value inside a method, it works inside a method, but when I leave
this method the maximum value returns to previous value. My vScrollBar is
not declared inside any method.
Thanks

I have a custyom control that has a property which wraps a collection. When

But if I take the controls in the collection and add them to the custom

I would like to use my Collection property but It seems that the controls

I have a DataGrid that ends up with a VScrollBar due to the number of
rows, and the behavior I want is for the bottom-most row of the
DataGrid to be shown, i.e., I want the VScrollBar all the way to the
bottom (maximum).
I grab and set the VScrollBar using the following:

Dear All,
I have spend a number of hours attempting to find some answers about
how to remove the 3D BorderStyle within a combobox and have come to
the conclusion that the simplest method is to create a user control

This however is not the most efficient method of doing things so I

I've started work on my own control some parts of which use standard

I seem to be stupid or missing the point. I used DrawString( ) as a simple

Hi everybody.
I have quite a problem with the vscrollbar component. The control I'm using has a built-in scrollbar, but I have 5 of those controls, and I would like to bind the external vscrollbar to scroll them all synchronically.
I have tried several other methods such as the wndProc override method. It didn't work, so I'm trying this alternative method.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
