Hi Everyone,

I am working on a scrolling form - a sort of "scrolling wizard" where I ask users a series of questions (they seem to get lost in standard "wizards"). The form starts out at about 300 pixels high and then as they work through the questions, I instantiate objects to show the next question and a control for them to answer with.

There can be up to a dozen questions (based upon previous responses) and so as the questions pop up, I increase the height of the form to accomodate. But I do not get the vertical scrollbar to show up this way (if I do not increase the height of the form, as soon as a control touches the bottom of the form, it shows up - scroll bars is set to "Vertical").

How do I get the scrollbar to show up either:

1) the first time I have to increase the height of the form (preferred) or
2) to always show

Do I have to put some sort of "fake" object at the bottom of the form that overlaps its margin to get it to show?

Also, the form "flashes" as I add new objects and then increase the size of the form. I tried setting .Lockscreen to .T. before making changes and then setting it to .F. after instantiating all the objects but this does not help.

Thanks,

Albert Gostick
