Hi Carlos,

Thanks for the reply. And a big thank you for your ct32 controls too.

While we're on the subject of the ct32_scontainer scrollable container, do you know of any issues when using it inside of another container, i.e. your scrollable container class is not placed directly on the form. I've put it into a another container in a page of a pageframe. The scrollable container contains a picture control. The scrollable container is anchored such that it grows in height and width when the form/pageframe is resized. What I'm observing is that the picture control and it's parent, the scrollable container, do not grow together but independently. Eventually, the picture control looks to appear totally outside the scrollable container. Not only that, but, the picture control takes on the scrollbars!

I hope that I've explained myself clearly enough for you to understand the problem :)

Mike
