SAMPLE: MuScroll.exe - Custom Control Code

ID: Q67247

The information in this article applies to:

The Microsoft Software Library contains a custom control DLL and documentation for a custom control class, MicroScroll. These controls are essentially small scroll bars with no scroll box, and perform no scroll-box tracking.

MicroScroll controls are small enough to be placed next to edit controls to create a spin button, such as those in the Date/Time dialog box in the Control Panel. Spin buttons are discussed on pages 86 and 87 of the IBM CUA guide, which is included with the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK).

The archive file in the Microsoft Software Library, MUSCROLL, contains the following files:
