Event on Scrolling to the end in flowlayoutpanel
-
hmm, oke im not really sure why you want to show that messagebox. but I thrown in some more trail and error and i came up with the code below. Note that I ran a little low on time so its a bit of a mess...i recommend throwing in a breakpoint to figure out exactly how the code works before putting it into your project. to test it again make a form (called form1) and add a listbox (txtscroll) in it. then copy paste the code into your form.
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Public Class Form1
Dim WithEvents scrollhandler As MyListener 'class that will watch windows to see if your scrolling
Private scrolled As Boolean = False 'boolean you can use to flip if a message box was displayed or not...(so it wont loop the messagebox.show)
Private maxscroll As Int64 'int used to store the max value of the scrollbar
'dll used to get the scrollbar value NOTE: if the scrollbar is not visible or you go higher then your max it will crash!

Did you recalculate the max value of your scrollbar? if your listbox is of a differed size then mine (witch it probably is) you have to recalculate it. just run the program. dont scroll and see how many items fit into the listbox (for me that where 18). you want to do the index - [the number you found]. after that it should work.
maxscroll = index - 18 'calculate max value. everytime you add a item you have to do this again. to calculate this its a bit of a trail and error thing depending on your control

Oh that kinda worked... but how am I ganna calculate the value in a control like this one: When its normal screen size: http://foto.pk/images/minx.png[^] When its maximized: http://foto.pk/images/maxx.png[^] ------------------------------------------------------------- Btw. You asked why would I want to know this value before... Answer) I don't actually want to show users "yay u reached the bottom" lol. I want the program to get more tweets when it reaches there. The above that I am making is a v2 of my current twitter client called TRocket. TRocket - Twitter Client [Open Source][^]

How do you fill the listbox? with a loop or a data binding? EDIT: oke something just shot to my mind. the items you add to your listbox are controls right? i forgot the object name but i've seen the code of those. this means they have a fixed sized right? you could calculate how much fit into your listbox if you read out the length and hight of it. lets say for example your listbox is 300 pixels wide and 400 pixels high. your controls are 100 wide and 50 high. this would mean you can fit 3 rows of each 8 items = 24 items without scroll bar. so in a 'math' way:
[ammount of items] - (math.floor([with_listbox]/[with_control])+math.floor([hight_listbox]/[hight_control])) = maximum scroll value
------------------- Ah oke, yea now its making sense ;) and i already figured it was for Trocket (read the thread about it) when i was helping you with a previous question.

huh? Sorry but I didn't quiet get that... wasn't quiet good in maths :/ Can you check into the source code: http://www.mediafire.com/?m13i05h0vmb11yc[^] I actually want this to be on Flowlayoutpanel1.

Private Function CalculateMaxScrollValue(ByVal totalitems As Int64, ByVal controlhight As Int32, ByVal controlwith As Int32)
'NOTE: 482 and 114 is the size property of your msgctrl.vb
Return totalitems - (Math.Floor(controlwith / 482) * Math.Floor(controlhight / 114))
End FunctionAdd that function to your code to find the max scroll value. Use that in combination with the code i send you in the previous posts in this topic. replace the txtscroll with the flowlayoutpanel1 and it should work (cant test it here). as a side note: you might want to fine tune the if/else of mine a little to a "<" instead of "=". giving a exact value to a 'analog' control gives it a small change to trigger. also it seems like the program is single threaded. i don't know how long it takes to load those messages but your interface will hang (not responding ect) till the load is complete. looking into threading might be interesting.

Err my laptops fan got fried - is at the repair shop. - sorry for the late reply... Anyway. So you mean I should just call this function on load? and replace the maxscroll = index - 18 on load?

Hey, Sorry for my late response. I unfortunately fell ill. to get back to your question: No, you call that function every time after the amount of items in your flowlayoutpanel changes.

so all the code needs to be same. but what should I do with: maxscroll = index - 18 ? the index property was giving an error in flowlayoutpanel. can you give me the example on the same code or better on the project its self.. :

You say that the with of your flowlayoutpanel is 1075. yet you apply it to the formula as the with of your tweettimelinecontrol. quoting you from a previous post:

Oh that kinda worked... but how am I ganna calculate the value in a control like this one: When its normal screen size: http://foto.pk/images/minx.png\[^\]
you can see in the screenshot that you got 2 of those controls next to eachoter so it can never be the total size of your flowlayoutpanel. please check the with property of your Tweettimelinecontrol and change the value. while your at it also change the 19 with a flowlayoutpanel.items.count to make sure it are 19.
