Visual Basic, Really dumb question

Really dumb question

Author	Message
Wesley Wrigh #1 / 3	Really dumb question I know this is probably a really stupid question, but I don't have any resources to help me figure this out and I can't seem to get a VScrollBar to work right in VB6. After I've drawn it using the controls, when I try to run my program the scroll bar moves but the page doesn't scroll up and down like it should. Assuming that the properties haven't been changed, is there a property to change that I don't know about or is there some code that I am supposed to write to accomplish this simple task. Thanks in advance for any help. Wesley Wright

Michael William #2 / 3	Really dumb question The Scroll Bar control is exactly what it says on the tin! It is simply a little "bar" that can be scrolled by the user. If you want your computer to do something other than simply scrolling the little bar then you need to write some code to do it. I am not trying to annoy you when I say this, but it seems to me that you need to buy a VB for Beginners book and study it.

Randy Birc #3 / 3	Really dumb question Forms and controls do not just scroll because a scrollbar has been added to the form - you need to set up the layout and code to accomplish this. Go to msdn.microsoft.com, Knowledge base search, and search for "scrollable viewport". -- Randy Birch MVP Visual Basic http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/ Please respond only to the newsgroups so all can benefit. : I know this is probably a really stupid question, but I don't have any : resources to help me figure this out and I can't seem to get a VScrollBar to : work right in VB6.
