no scroll events in ScrollableControl?

[Jens Weiermann]

Hi!

I'm creating a custom control derived from ScrollableControl (a picture
viewer similar to what ACDSee does). My problem is that I couldn't find any
scroll events (what i would expect from a ScrollableControl)...

Any hints?

TIA!
Jens

Hi Jens,

ScrollableControl is a winform control and you're posting to a ng for building web controls. You may get better luck by trying a more appropiate ng. Good luck!

Hello Jens, I have come to find the same problem. The fact that there is
no OnScroll method available is rather disturbing, it exist in
HScrollBar and VScroll bar though not ScrollableControl.

The only solution I have found was to create instances of these two
controls, add them to the Controls collection manually and add an event
handler for the HScrollBar.Scroll and VScrollBar.Scroll methods. The
pain about this is that you have to manually position the scrollbars and
adjust the Value property every time the control has been resized.

I found it interesting that i just stumbled on to this link
http://longhorn.msdn.microsoft.com/lhsdk/ref/ns/system.windows.forms/c/s
crollablecontrol/e/scroll.aspx

Which shows that the Scroll events are exposed.

If you found a cleaner solution I would be interested to know what you
came up with

Hi Brett,

after I realized I had posted this to the wrong group (as well as you ;-),
I asked again in microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms.controls
and was pointed to the following link by Herfried Wagner:

Works perfect for me now!
