Though this may be about your own code doing something wrongly ;) try to solve it with a Timer; thus, let the scrolling be performed by a Timer and some statusvariable that this is occurring, and reset the timer to f.e. 100 in the Timer method itself. At the GotFocus of the control reset the statusvariable and the TimerValue to 0.
