Scrollbar Behavior - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 20 years ago by Boyd - Sr. Software Developer, Patterson Consulting, LLC

Can you tell me if this is possible? If not, perhaps you might add this feature in the future.

Is it possible to hide the scrollbars for SyntaxEditor? It appears they are always visible even when there is nothing to scoll to (i.e. blank document). If they can't be hidden, is it possible to make them disabled until there is a need to scroll?

Ideally, it would be nice to see behavior similar to WordPad where the scrollbars are not displayed until there is a need for them.

Thanks for the feedback!

Hi Boyd, that feature is not yet available although it is on our TODO list.

Also, the scrollbars should currently be disabled when there is nothing to scroll.

Thanks for the the extra information on hiding scrollbars.

Regarding the disabled scrollbars, they are drawn correctly in Windows XP when themes are used, but not in Windows 2000 (or perhaps other OS's as well) or in Windows XP when no themes are used.

Without XP themes, the scrollbars do not respond to any mouse clicks, but they are not drawn so that they look disabled (i.e. arrows not grayed out and scrollbar gripper is still visible). Let me know if you'd like me to send a screen print.

I see what you mean... we'll update the scrollbar renderer for the next release.
