Hi, Troy -

Are you referring to a vertical scroll bar control that resides in a window or a vertical scroll bar that is contained and managed within a DataWindow control? Can you post a picture or two to illustrate what you are asking about?

Best regards, John

I'm talking about selecting a DataObject in the painter and enabling the VScrollBar checkbox in its properties.

Here's some images that I hope will help to explain it. First, here is an example of a scroll bar working as I would expect and desire. In this first image, you can see that the scroll bar is at the top.

This next image is of the same controls, with the scroll bar moved to the bottom. You can see that the controls in the window have moved.

Now, here is a scroll bar that doesn't act as I would expect or desire. First, you can see the scroll bar is at the top.

Now, I have moved the scroll bar to the bottom. The controls (buttons, labels, etc) are in the exact same location, but the values have changed. You can only see the radio button values change in this example.

Hope this helps.

Hi.

First of all it seems to me like the second datawindow (drugs tab) has two rows (one with data and one empty). Can you check rowcount value for that datawindow? Also, how do you open that tab page? Is this a userobject opened using opentab? It seems to me like a user object having different width / height than you tab control (your tabpage is larger and doesn't fit). If I am right to my previous assumptions check again your controls height.

Hi again

If for some reason you create a tabpage with height greater than your tab control and you don't have logic to resize that control, then you will be able to see a part of your tabpage (the part that is under your tab control's width & height). The rest of the control will exist but will be hidden. You will also have the same issue if your datawindow is bigger than the control (window / userobject) where you placed it and your window / userobject cannot resize.

This can also happen if you do have a resize logic that in some cases doesn't work well (what Chris mentioned in his answer).

Now, why do I have the suspicion that something like that is happening. Take a look at your screenshot:

While the vertical scroll bar belongs to the datawindow, the horizontal doesn't. It seem's like your window (or whatever object the horizontal scroll bar belongs to) is shorter than your tab control or tabpage or datawindow or all of them... Is there another vertical scrollbar on the right side? Based on your screen shot we cannot be sure. It may be a smaller window that only shows the horizontal scroll bar...

To further find what's happening try first to investigate that issue... Cannot say more as I don't have a way to see your objects / controls.

Andreas.
