Form with horizantal scroll bar - VFP8

[kmagy]

Hi every body

When a form with horizantal scroll bar and its orientation is right to left activates it shows the left area, and the scroll bar is from left to right, How can I show the form Right area and a right to left scroll bar

Thanks in advance

kmagy,

If you have a form that has scrollbars on it, the area you can see in the form is known as it's viewport. And since a form doesn't give us a DoScroll event we must set the ViewPortLeft and ViewPortTop properties. These properties are listed as read-only in the helpfile, but this is only partly true. They just can't be set directly, we are fortunate that a method for setting these has been provided called SetViewPort...

*!* 10000 is much bigger than needed insuring we end up completely to the right

thisform.SetViewPort(10000, thisform.ViewPortTop)

...the preceding code will put the viewport as far to the left as possible...which simulates scrolling the form's viewport all the way to the right. Put this code in the Form's Init or in some other event that occurs after the form has intialized and you have set the form's viewport.
