Scrolling MDI Child form

Expand Post »
Hi,

I have a problem

I have an MDI form with a single child form which has borderstyle=none. This child form has lot of controls (like Textboxes and comboboxes). The child form is very big, so half of the controls are not visible. I can drag the scroll bar to view the remaining controls. But, I am using keyboard extensively, and, I want to scroll the form automatically when a contol, which is not visible, gets the focus. I have already completed the form design, So I cannot change the child forms (which is shown one at a time). Please help me by giving a solution to modify the MDI Form code so as to generate the required effect.

thanks

Re: Scrolling MDI Child form

I hope this very late reply helps someone.... :?

This web site is to trap keyboard events and make the screen scroll, but it should be just as simple making this occur off a got focus event on a forms control.
