Remove Horizontal Scrollbar (from TabPage).

Hi Folks,

How can I hide the Horizontal ScrollBar from my TabPage while still showing the Vertical one?

I'm creating a Windows Mobile 6 application. I'm programmatically shortening my TabControl, which in turn automatically shortens my TabPages. I have the TabPage's AutoScroll property set to true, so both ScrollBars (vert, and hor) automatically appear when they're supposed to. Great )

However, I would actually like to have the horizontal one not show.

Can anyone give me a pointer?

Thank you

You should be able to use a CSS solution.
Identify the correct DIV or other container to apply this CSS to:

overflow-x: hidden; <- for no horizontal scrolling
overflow-y: auto; <- for vertical scrolling

or you can use visible to allow the horizontal content to render outside of the container.

I hope that helps.

Hi Travis,

Thanks for your reply. I'm somewhat new to C-Sharp / .Net so I might be misunderstanding. When you say CSS, I'm thinking Cascading Style Sheets for a browser-based application. Is that what you meant? My application is not a browser-based app. I'm just using regular windows (mobile) forms. (System.Windows.Forms.Form).

Thanks again for your help!

sorry bb,

once I again I get in trouble for not reading the whole post. I was giving a browser based solution.

For windows forms controls I haven't done this myself but I remember reading a post that explained doing this using the AutoScale Property with some setting or other. You might want to look into that.

Hi Travis,

No apology necessary ) Thank you for trying to help. Actually, you did help. Thanks for the tip about the AutoScale property. That is probably what will fix my problem.

Thanks again )
