Posted by Lisa Pearlson on August 4, 2005, 1:47 pm Please log in for more thread options Hi, I've asked this before but got no response. So I'm giving it another try. I am trying to programmatically scroll to the bottom of the page in a scrollable dialog box. I know I can use DM_RESETSCROLL to scroll to the top. That works fine. But I need to scroll to the bottom. I can update the scroll bar by using SetScrollInfo() but the dialog box doesn't scroll. I tried calling DM_RESETSCROLL with different parameters after that, or posting a WM_VSCROLL to the dialog window, but to no avail. How can I do this? A scroll bar just posts a WM_VSCROLL (or WM_HSCROLL) to its parent window when it's being scrolled, and it's the parent window that scrolls itself in response to WM_VSCROLL I thought. But obviously not. Lisa Posted by Alexander Shargin on August 4, 2005, 6:59 pm Please log in for more thread options I would try to send WM_KEYDOWN/WM_KEYUP messages to dialog box with VK_DOWN as the key pressed. Another idea is to enumerate child controls and move them manually after you update scrol pos via SetScrollInfo. -- Alexander Shargin Microsoft MVP in Mobile Devices http://www.pocketpcdn.com - Pocket PC Developer Network http://www.smartphonedn.com - Smartphone Developer Network http://www.rsdn.ru - Russian Software Developer Network show/hide quoted text > Hi, > I've asked this before but got no response.
