Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

 Usage Notes
   ■ The operating environment automatically sets ranges for scroll bars
     proportional to the contents of forms, combo boxes, and list boxes. For
     a scroll bar control, however, you must specify these ranges. Use Max
     and Min to set a range appropriate to how the scroll bar control is
     used - for example, as an input device, or to indicate speed, velocity,
     or quantity. See: ◄Horizontal Scroll Bar Control►
                       ◄Vertical Scroll Bar Control►
 
   ■ Max and Min determine the Value property settings depending on the
     position of the scroll box and the type of scroll bar used:
 
     Scroll Box Position   Scroll Bar   Value Setting
     ═══════════════════   ══════════   ════════════════════════════════════
     Top                   Vertical     Max
     Bottom                Vertical     Min
     Far left              Horizontal   Min
     Far right             Horizontal   Max
     ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
     See: ◄Scroll Box Definition►  ◄Value Property►
 
   ■ If Max is set to a value less than Min, the setting is ignored and
     Max is instead set equal to Min. This visually sets the scroll bar at
     the leftmost or topmost position of a horizontal or vertical scroll bar,
     respectively.
 
   ■ Typically, you set Max and Min at design time. You can also set them
     in code at run time if the scrolling range must change dynamically -
     for example, when adding records to a database that can be browsed
     with a scroll bar.
 
   ■ You set the maximum and minimum scrolling increments for a scroll bar
     control with the LargeChange and SmallChange properties.
