Determining scrollbar visibility based on fit

Hopefully there is a simple way that is just eluding me right now.

I am adding a simple form to some projects that will use the _WebBrowser4 ffc to display a pre-selected HTML file that was passed from the calling form as a parameter. (This will be used as a type of dynamic Help instruction for new users.) I initialize this form on the right-side of the main screen, sized based on a comfortable height & width to handle 90% of our available HTML files without the need to display the scroll bars, however there are a few possible files that will need a vertical scrollbar.

If the height of the display activates the vertical display bar, I would like to adjust the height just enough to accommodate the HTML file without showing the vertical scrollbar. I would also need to leave the scrollbar visible if a predetermined max height is reached.

How can I determine if the vertical scrollbar is visible for that displayed HTML file?

 
I don't know of any way to control that, and I also don't think I'd ever try it. The whole *point* of using a browser control and HTML is that it adjusts to content dynamically.

Let the control do what it's good at doing.
