Scrolling a form to a particular point...

[BradC]

I have a long VB.NET form with a scrollbar (autoscroll=true, not an actual
scrollbar control).
In response to one particular buttonclick, I need to scroll down to a
particular point on the form, and I can't figure out how to do it! Nothing I
try seems to work.

Just in case it matters, it is a maximized child window of an MDI parent
application.

Thanks for your help!

Set the form's 'AutoScrollPosition' property.

Thanks. That does move it, but it doesn't seem to move it to the right
place.

Let me give an example:
My form totals about 1000 pixels tall.
I have a panel starting about y=500 that I want to appear at the TOP of the
window.
(So I want to see from 500 to however tall their window size is).

If I try to set .AutoScrollPosition = New Point(0, 500),
it scoots down just a tiny bit so your viewing from, say, 100 to 600.
If I click the same button again, THEN it scoots down further so you can see
the entire panel.

Is my syntax correct?
Thanks
