>VFP6 has added a Scrollbars proprty to fomrs. You can now have vertical, horizontal, or both scrollbars in a form. There are new properties for you to use in managingthe scrollbars and the area of the form in sight. The display area of the formis called the View Port.

There is a method named SetViewPort that can be used to chage the ViewPortLeft and ViewPortTop properties. The other two change when you change the size of the form, or the user resizes the form.

It is good to have as much functionality as we can get from a development language. It's just that I'm not sure if the whole idea behind scrollable forms is right from an UI standpoint. Maybe it's just me, but the idea of placing controls not visible to the user at form's start gives me the creeps.
