How can I make scroll bars operational?

For some reason I can't get vertical or horizontal scroll bars to function at all. They show up at run time, but look like their disabled. I need to make sure that anyone with a low screen resolution will be able to see the whole form of my program. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Robert

Yes, we need more detail. For example, what version of VB are you using? And can you show us (or at least describe) an example of how you're using the scroll bars?

Hi,

You have to Set Min and Max Values for the Scroll Bars..

I'm using VB6, and basically need them so that people with less resolution can view the entire form by scrolling down or over.

Hope that helped.

Thank you,

If you are trying to use the scrollbars to scroll the from it self then that is not possible .

Thank you for telling me that scrolling a form is impossible. That was the problem all along, so I made copies of all the frames and placed them (with all controls intact) into a form sized picturebox. I then drew the two scroll bars and Scroll Picture Box onto the form, and voila, worked like a charm. Now my forms can be huge and all will be able to view them.

Thanks again guys!
