C# Signature:

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern bool EnableScrollBar(IntPtr hWnd, uint wSBflags, uint wArrows);

VB Signature:

<DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError:=True)> _
Private Shared Function EnableScrollBar(ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByVal wSBflags As UInteger, ByVal wArrows As UInteger) As Boolean
End Function

User-Defined Types:

    Private Enum SBFlags
    SB_HORZ = 0
    SB_VERT = 1
    SB_CTL = 2
    SB_BOTH = 3
    End Enum

    Private Enum SBArrows
    ESB_ENABLE_BOTH = 0
    ESB_DISABLE_BOTH = 3
    ESB_DISABLE_LEFT = 1
    ESB_DISABLE_RIGHT = 2
    ESB_DISABLE_UP = 1
    ESB_DISABLE_DOWN = 2
    ESB_DISABLE_LTUP = 1
    ESB_DISABLE_RTDN = 2
    End Enum

Notes:

None.

Tips & Tricks:

Please add some!

Sample Code:

Disables the HScroll bar for a specified control.

Works on all types that inherit from Control.
