Textbox With Vertical Scrollbar - Get The Scrollbar Position Without Having To Reposition The Carat?

Oct 21, 2010

So with the stock Textbox, I set the Scrollbars property to Vertical. This is great if the text in my box never changes; I can scroll up and down while the box sits still. If I'm running a background operation that logs output to the box though, the scrollbar resets itself to the top every time I append text to the box.

I know I can set the Textbox.Selection property (or use the Select method) to reposition the carat in the textbox, make note of that position in a variable, then append text, reset the carat, and use the ScrollToCarat method to reposition the scrollbar where it belongs. That's a really (ridiculously) long way around. Anybody know if there's another/better way of holding the scrollbar position, short of actually building a custom control (or using a Textbox and a separate Scrollbar)? It never hurts to try. In a worst case scenario, you'll learn from it.

Textbox - Set The Position Of A Vertical Scrollbar?

Apr 7, 2012

I have a TextBox control with a lot of text which has a vertical scrollbar, and every time I hide/show the control the position of the scrollbar stays the same. I'm trying to figure out how to change the position of the scrollbar to the top of the textbox, as if it were at the beginning of the text.

.net - Enabled Scrollbar In A Disabled Textbox For WinForms?

Jun 3, 2012

I'm trying to allow scrolling in a Multiline-TextBox even if the TextBox is set to

textbox.Enabled = False

This is not possible, as the Scrollbar is disabled with the Enabled-Command, too.The default solution here is to set

textbox.ReadOnly = True
textbox.Enabled = True

but this doesn't really do the trick for me. With ReadOnly I can still select the text of a TextBox as well as place the cursor inside of it. But as I have normal (non Multiline-TextBoxes) and other controls on the same form I don't want that to happen. I want to have exactly the same behavior as all the other disabled TextBoxes.

For everything else, like mimic the color of a disabled textbox and so on, there is a legitimate workaround with the ReadOnly-Property, but I coudn't find any for selecting text and placing the cursor.

UPDATE:I tried to use WIN32 API but it didn't work as expected:

Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Public Class TestTextBox

Can't Get Scrollbar On (VB2008)

Jun 30, 2010

I have inherited support for a program written in VB2008

The problem I have is as follows:

Users have a low screen resolution (company policy) and so can't see the bottom of a particular form.

The bottom of the form has buttons that allow them to navigate between its' four pages so they need to be able to see them. This being the case I need to add a scrollbar to the form.

If I try to drag and drop a vscrollbar from the toolbox it just sits there at runtime (you can slide the button on the toolbar up and down but nothing happens regarding scrolling the page.

All the reading I have done seems to point to forms being given scrollbars in accordance to the AutoScroll, AutoScrollMargin and AutoscrollMinSize properties of the Form itself.

By setting these properties I can get scrollbars to appear in the IDE but they are not there at runtime.

I think I'm probably missing something really obvious here but, so far, have been unable to work out what it is.

Cannot Reach Scrollbar's Value

Jan 13, 2011

So, in my vertical scrollbar, the maximum value is 16. In my application, I made a Label to track the scrollbar's value, just for testing purposes. I noticed that when I move the bar to the bottom, the value is 6. And when a [i]release[/i] the button (stop holding it with the mouse), the value becomes 7. Something similar goes when I move the button to the top: It is 1, and when I release the button, it becomes 0. That's a bit weird, but what mainly bugs me is why I cannot reach value 16?

C# - DropDown Menu With ScrollBar In .NET

Jul 3, 2010

I'm trying to make a user control similar to the Windows Vista/7 breadcrumb bar used in windows explorer. However, when I show the drop down menu for a breadcrumb with many sub items, I get a very long list that sometimes exceeds the screen size. In the Windows Vista/7 example however, there are a maximum of 18 items displayed at a time and a scrollbar appears at the right when the number of sub items exceeds this number (18).

Getting The Horizontal Scrollbar Location?

Dec 2, 2009

I have a horizontal scrollbar on my form, and the form is longer (vertically) than the screen. What I'd like is for the horizontal scrollbar to always be visible at the bottom of the screen, no matter where the user is vertically. Right now, the user has to scroll all the way to the bottom of the form in order to see the horizontal scrollbar.

Hide RichTextBox Scrollbar

Nov 26, 2009

I have a form with multiple richtextboxes that have synchronized scrolling (ie when one RTB scrolls, the other RTBs scroll down with it). The only problem I have is that I have 10 RTBs, which means 10 scrollbars in total. I would like some of them to not show for simplicity reasons. Basicly the scrollbar of RTB1 to show and hide the rest.

Text Box / Scrollbar Interaction

May 7, 2011

I have set up a scrollbar to have a value between 0 and 264 (i.e. 0-255 when taking the width of the slider into account). I also have a text box that is set up to display the current value of the scrollbar as an interger. However I am currently unable to enter a value in the text box which also moves the scrollbar to its equivilent position. The closest I've been is when I was able to change the value but kept ending up with an error when a number above 255 was entered or when there wasn't a number in the text box.[code]What I am after is to be able to enter a number between 0 and 255 (and only a number between 0 and 255)in the text box and it change the position of the scrollbar accordingly and to omitigate the errors which occur when there is nothing in the text box by accepting an empty box as 0.
