Is it possible to scroll a picture box control?

I would like to place text controls inside of a picture box control, then
resize the picture box control so the height is smaller than where I place
the text controls, so the user needs to scroll the picture box control with
the Vscroll control.

First, can this be done?   If so, How?

What you want is called a "viewport".  The "trick" is that you use a picture
box _within_ a picture box.  The inner picture box will have your controls
and will be the box that gets scrolled vertically -- which you do simply by
using a scroll bar to control the "Top" property of your picture box.  (Use
the _Change event procedure of the scroll bar.)  The outer picture box which
"contains" the other picture box serves to provide a stationary "viewport"
into the inner picture box that scrolls.

After somebody explains it, this concept seems so simple that you'll wonder
why you didn't think of it yourself!  That's how I felt, anyway.

If you want more information, there's an article in the VB Knowledge Base.
You should have it if you've got the Pro edition of VB, or you can search
