split Container scroll bars

[Surya Ayyagari]

I have a split container on the form. On the left panel and right panel I have tree views. I have set the tree view scroll bars to false. When the treeviews increase in size, tthe panels doesn't show any scroll bar even though autoscroll property of the panels are set to true. How can I show the scroll bars of the panel? I need to synchronise both the scroll bars later. Regards Surya

If the Dock property of your TreeViews is set to anything other than DockStyle.None the scrollbars won't show. The TreeViews must extend beyond the bounds of the panels for this to happen. If this is not the case, then please ignore this post. :)

Thanks Henry for the reply. But I have set DockStyle.Fill for the treeviews. I want to show the scroll bars of the panels. I mean how to extend treeview beyond the bounds of the panel? Regards Surya

That is the problem. DockStyle.Fill 'does exactly what it says on the tin' it will only ever allow the TreeView to exactly fill its containing control. It cannot grow to be larger and therefore the scrollbars are not needed. As I said in my previous post, the TreeView must be able to extend beyond the bounds of the panel for the ScrollBars to show up. You might try setting Dockstyle.Top which, on reflection, should allow them to grow vertically and thence trigger the ScrollBar
