gomindi Posted December 19, 2002 Posted December 19, 2002 I have created a form 2 to display information, but it seems like I can't make the page as long as I want. I have tried changing the size on the form, but it only allows me to make it so long. Can anyone help me with information on how to make the form longer and how to code in scroll bars? (veritical and horizontal) Thank you! Mindi Quote
*Gurus* Derek Stone Posted December 19, 2002 *Gurus* Posted December 19, 2002 Split the information up onto different tabs of a TabbedDialog control. Using scrollbars on a form is neither a standard nor acceptable method of displaying large amounts of information. Quote Posting Guidelines
*Experts* Nerseus Posted December 19, 2002 *Experts* Posted December 19, 2002 If you'd like to annoy your users, you can always put everything in a Panel control and turn on Auto-scroll. But remember, windows is not a browser - there are many better ways to display a lot of data than scrolling things around. Tabs, grids, multiple forms, etc. -ner Quote "I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over.
