If, in fact, these values are the same, then the scroll bar will be white. To test/set the scroll bar's maximum and minimum, use something like this: scrollMax := GetCtlMax(myScrollBar); scrollMin := GetCtlMin(myScrollBar); (set the min. to 0, set the max to 99:) SetCtlMax(myScrollBar, 99); SetCtlMin(myScrollBar, 0); Personally, I use "HideControl" and "ShowControl" to make the scroll bar go white when the window is deactivated. --Lawrence -------
