How do you hide listview scroll bars?

[Erik Christensen]

Michael, Semen,

Thanks a lot for your feed-back. Since I need to use the
%LVS_REPORT style it seems that %LVS_NOSCROLL would not be
compatible according to Michael’s information.

The solution provided by you Semen is indeed very elegant and
works perfectly. I will study it more closely. I will no doubt
be able to use the principles in my project. Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Erik

Remembered one simple method - to place inside another window.

NOT TESTED, but maybe you have to set the style?

From MDSN:

LVS_NOSCROLL
Scrolling is disabled. All items must be within the client area. This style is not compatible with the LVS_LIST or LVS_REPORT styles. See Knowledge Base Article Q137520 for further discussion.

Hi Fellows,

I am doing a small project using listview controls. I want to
suppress the working and showing of the scroll bars belonging
to the listview window and using scrollbar controls instead.
I have tried to use the ShowScrollBar function which can be used
to show or hide scroll bars – both scroll bar controls and standard
scroll bars belonging to a window. However, it is not working.
I cannot hide the standard scroll bars of the listview window.
Can you help me? Is there another method which works?
Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Erik
