How to hide scroll bar in a quickwin program?

[csmao]

Dear all,

I have a quickwin application. Using Win API, I know how to disable scroll bar of a child window. However, I would like to hide both scroll bars completely. The function ShowScrollBar() does not seem to work. Don't know where went wrong. Could anyone help? Thank in advance.

This is tricky. ShowScrollBar should work; alternatively, you can try calling SetScrollInfo() API with SCROLLINFO.fMask having SIF_DISABLENOSCROLL bit cleared (but I think the effect will be the same).

However, if I recall correctly, either change "won't stick", as the QuickWin will reset scrollbars to the state it likes next time the window is resized (or even a drawing operation is perfomed, I'm not sure at the moment).

You might consider using the approach in http://www.xeffort.com/xeffort/samples/qw_xft/qw_xft.htm
i.e. override QuickWin drawing and scrolling entirely -- however, that also implies that you have to recode all the drawing code you had within.
