HorzScrollBar/VertScrollBar

Post by Dominic_Fichera » Tue Sep 02, 2014 9:47 pm

Hey all,

I've been fiddling with some of the dialog controls and have come across the "HorzScrollBar/VertScrollBar" options when looking at the form properties. Normally with scroll bar options for other dialog items, there are preset options like ssNone I can set, but in this case, it is asking for input.

My question is: What does this option do (I assume add scroll bars of some kind) and how does it work? The manual doesn't really have too much more information than:
Represents the vertical/horizontal scroll bar for the scrolling windowed control.
Thanks for the help! :)

Kind regards,

Dominic Fichera

I've tried fiddling with "HorzScrollBar/VertScrollBar" too and can't make any difference no matter what I try. If you need scroll bars in the main form just set AutoScroll = True. You get scroll bars when you need them and they disappear when the window is large enough to expose all of the dialog's objects.

If you simply want to explore for the sake of knowledge, try searching on the sites mentioned in Marcus' post here

Good luck and have fun.
