SYMPTOMS

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Start a new Windows CE (HPC) Project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.

Add a vertical or horizontal scroll bar to Form1.

Set the Max property of the scroll bar to 100.

Set the LargeChange property of the scroll bar to 5.

Resize the scroll bar. The slider will not move at all unless the scroll bar has been resized.

Press the F5 key to run the project.

Place the mouse cursor between the slider and one end of the scroll bar. Hold down the left-mouse key and note that the slider moves past the cursor and continues moving until the mouse key is released or it reaches the end of the scroll bar. The expected behavior is that it should stop when it reaches the mouse cursor.
