TITLE   :BUG: Scrollbar Disabled in IDE When Enabled is Set to False
PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows
PROD/VER:
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

======================================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Visual Basic Learning, Professional, and Enterprise Editions
   for Windows, versions 5.0, 6.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When designing a form, if you add a horizontal or vertical ScrollBar and
set one or both to disabled, then you cannot use click-and-drag to move the
ScrollBar(s) unless you close and re-open the form.

RESOLUTION
==========

To avoid this problem, set the Enabled property of the ScrollBars in the
Form Load event. See step 5 in the MORE INFORMATION section below.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Start a new Standard EXE project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by
   default.

2. Add a vertical ScrollBar control and a horizontal ScrollBar control to
   to Form1.

3. Set the Enabled property of each ScrollBar to False. Note that you can
   not change the positions of the ScrollBars by clicking and dragging the
   control with the mouse.

4. Close the form and re-open it. The ScrollBars can now be re-positioned.

5. Set the Enabled property of the horizontal and vertical ScrollBars to
   True, and then add the following code to the Form Load event:

      HScroll1.Enabled = False
      VScroll1.Enabled = False

   You can now reposition the ScrollBars as expected.
