How can I increase the size of the Scroll bar

Hi all

I am working on an application for a touch screen terminal. I have placed a
datagrid on the form and the user will select a row on the datagrid. I have
increased the font size on the datagrid to make it easier for the user to
choose one using the touchscreen. How can I increase the size of the
scrollbar to make it easier for the user to scroll the datagrid?

i am using visual studio 2005 .

thanks & regards

I think this is a Windows thing. You will have to go to the "Display
Properties" on Windows, select "Appearance ", click on the "Advance" button
and then select "Scrollbar" from the item combobox. Once you do that you can
increase or decrease the size of the scrollbars by changing the Size value.

Open the display properties, go to the Apperance tab and click on
Advanced. Select the Scrollbar setting and change the size.

When I set the Size property on the VB.NET form properties pane to a size of 800, 1200 the 1200 always resets back to 1036? Why is that? When I open a child form in the MDI parent the only way the MDI displays scroll bars if if the child form is not maximized and is moved over the edge of the MDI. Is there a way to turn those scroll bars on when the child form is maximized?

Hello... I posted this a couple of weeks back, but could't get a reply, so trying again! I use the Setup project in C# to create a .msi file to be distributed to the clients. The size of .msi is 12 MB. This file works fine on all the target machines, but on the development machine every time I remove the existing .msi (from add/remove programs) and install a new version, the size increases by 13-14
