I have VB6 applications.

In some workstations, when I have a window form with a MSFlexgrid control, I can´t use the vertical scrollbar for move to the next rows, because it looks disabled, and click has no effect in that.

Is there a solution for that behaviour?

I have published that case as an issue #34899, and it was submitted in March 15 to the support area.

Is there some answer for that?

Hi Ya, I am finding the same problem in development mode it is fine when in runtime mode on windows 10 the scrollbars are disabled.

I reported it in January 2016.

Can someone fix this problem, or give a work around.

Hi all

I also encountered this issue and have been able to resolve it.

In our app, we have a logon form and MDI form that both contain the skin framework control. In both forms I declared the following at the top:

Private Declare Function LoadLibrary Lib "kernel32" Alias "LoadLibraryA" (ByVal lpLibFileName As String) As Long

On both forms, before the skin is loaded, I used this line of code:

LoadLibrary "MSFLXGRD.OCX"

This fixes the issue where the msflxgrd control doesn't skin properly, and the scrollbars don't work in Windows 8 or 10.

It seems some controls need to be in memory for the skinning to function correctly.

The following previous forum items gave me the answer:

Hope this is useful...
