From: Geoff Schaller on 14 Feb 2010 17:11 Phil, You're only giving us half the story. I can't see what the issue is. It appears to be a scrollbar issue but you aren't quite labelling it as such. You are seemingly adjusting the surface at runtime without adjusting the container. This will always be difficult. So why not go with a modeless dialog? Wouldn't the surface be easier to control? Your only other option is to manage the scrollbars completely yourself along the lines of say bBrowser. All the code you need has already been written by Joachim and is in the source code. Applying it to a window is no different. However if you want this runtime management then perhaps you are better off with a splitwindow container with a single pane? Then again you get automatic scrollbars. Datawindow vs dialogwindow vs childappwindow... Unfortunately you are wrestling with a design set somewhere back in 1994 and buried deep into the class code. I've tried to untangle this in the past and given up. It was just easier to manipulate the existing classes and ignoring the oeverhead.

They are left in, as they play a part in the scrolling where I need it for.
