>Has anyone else experience the following problem with using scroll bars on a form in VFP6:

>I have several similar but different forms that require one or both scroll bars to navigate and see the whole form. All forms are generated by the same procedures, just different controls on them (but very similar) and different heights but same widths. One of the dynamically generated instances of the form is wider than the form width but does NOT display a horizontal scroll bar yet all the others that are wider do. This happens in 1024x768 screen-size mode. If I bump the screen res to 1280x1024, the Hscroll bar shows up (the form size is still the same).

>Since the same procedure generates all variations of the form, how can one just decide not to have the HScroll bar?? And why would resizing the Windows screen res cause it to appear? FWIW, the SCROLLBAR property of the form is set to 3 (both) at design-time. I have tried to work around the prob by setting the SCROLLBAR property to various combos at run-time to no avail.

Arne,
It's documented somewhere in KB that if any object exists at a position with left or top greater than screen height/width*2 than scrollbars disappear. As I remember it was by design.
