Tim,
Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried setting the scrollPolicy to
OFF on all containers except the one I want to scroll, but it is still
making the "propertySheetContainer" big enough to hold the property
sheet instead of respecting the percentage size I set, and creating
the scrollbar. (then you can't get to anything) It appears that sizing
to fit children is of higher priority than percent sizes. I don't
understand exactly what the 'clipContent' means when scrollPolicy is
'off' but I've tried it both ways (clip true and false) with the same
results.
See sample code.
Thanks,
Thunder
