The procedure to define a scrolling dialog box is quite straightforward. It is done by specifying the WS_VSCROLL and WS_HSCROLL window styles. The dialog procedure must set the scroll range and process horizontal and vertical scrolling messages. Windows will process the WM_PAINT message on behalf of the dialog box.

SCROLDLG.EXE, a file in the Microsoft Software Library, contains code to a sample application that displays a scrolling dialog box.
