Some issues with scroll bars in a form

[Filip Brnic]

Hi, I ran into this issue because i accidentaly changed/resized my form and im literally stuck trying to fix this for an hour, Someone told me that i need to put something outside of the part that is viewable/that you can see but it literally does not work, can someon just hop in my form and help me? Here is a reference to how much width i want it to be. its in a zip file, just remove the 1 before the extension ( i tried to make a new form and tested how to make the scrollbars visible and it worked, but for some reason the same principe doesnt work in my main form)

Can you open the form in the Form Designer? If so, right-click on each of the following properties in turn, and choose "Rest to Default" : Top, Left, Height and Width.

There are exactly two ingredients to make scrollbars visible on a form:
1. Objects outside the visible area of the form, right of the right margin or under the bottom margin.
2. The forms Scrollbars property set to 3 for both scrollbars.
There's no complicated science behind that, just two things that both have to be present - controls off the visible area and the form.scrollbars property set.

The scrollbars then aree also visible already in the deesigner.

The screenshot you show seems to be a form with large height, that doesn't cause a scrollbar, that just causes the bottom of the form area to be off the designer or desktop size. The form itself remains small, you put controls into coordinates below the bottom of the form by setting their top property higher than the height of the form, you don't rais the form height, that's not causing scrollbars, that's mking the form higher than the screen and designer can show them.
