Using scrollbars and a StatusBar

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I want to display a horizontal scrollbar along with a StatusBar.

I can either:

(a). Place the scrollbar along side the StatusBar -

The problem with this approach is:  if I do this, the two controls overlap. Also, there is no Left or Width property for StatusBar, so I cannot adjust the size and position of the Statusbar, so that it exuists side by side with the scrollbar.

(b). Create a Pane, and set the Handle property of a StatusBar Pane, using the handle of the ScrollBar.

The problem with this is that the ScrollBar control does not have a handle property.

Does anyone know how I may use a scrollbar together with a statusBar ?

	Hi, I don't see how it can be done... anyway think it will look quite ugly for user - statusbar+scrollbar.
