>Few days ago, I have written a question on how to add a thumbnail image in a form... it is quite simple by using Thumbnail Control in OLE container. However, I find that the scrollbox container cannot scroll up & down the thumbnail controls I added programmatically... so I create a custom container to hold the thumbnail controls, the scrollbox can scroll up & down the controls...
