Getting TextBox scrollbar size

[MuZZy]

Hi,

Is there a way to:
1. Find out if a scrollbar is currently show on the TextBox
2. Get the width of the horizontal scrollbar

I am doing a UserControl with a TextBox with a small image placed in the upper right cornet of the
text box. If user typed a lot of text and scrollbar shows, i need to catch the event and move the
image left so that it will not be hidden by the scroll bar.

Any ideas would be highly appreciated!

Thank you,
Andrey

What properties have you got set on the textbox so that the scrollbar
appears automatically? I could only get it to either be there all the time
or never appear.

As for the width I think you can use

System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.VerticalScr ollBarWidth

TextBox.ScrollBars = Both/Horizontal/Vertical
When it's set to Both, it's automatic

I will take a look, thank you!

Don't know why but it's not automatic on my system. No matter what setting I
use the scrollbars just toggle between enabled and disabled. Maybe it's XP.
