Inserting a scroll bar control
  1. Open the relevant screen in Designer () mode.
  2. Select Insert|ScrollBar () from the main menu, then use your cursor to draw the graphic area on the screen.
  3. Set the Max, Min and Value properties from the Properties pane to the maximum limit, minimum limit and start value respectively.
  4. Set any other relevant properties in the Properties pane.
Setting a limit for scroll bar selection
  1. In Designer, select the scroll bar control.
  2. From the Properties Pane, set the Max property. This value should be the highest limit of your range.
  3. Set the Min property to the lowest limit of your range.
  4. Set the Value property to the default value, if necessary.
  5. Set the LargeChange property to the amount that the control increments or decrements if the user clicks on the scrollbar area.
  6. Set the SmallChange property to the amount that the control increments or decrements if the user clicks the arrow buttons in the control.

For example, if you wanted to restrict a user's selection to values from 5 to 15 only and an initial value of 10 then you would set the Max property as 15, the Min property as 5 and the Value property as 10.
