How can I get a window to automatically scroll down/up if you tab to a control that is not currently visible.
I have the 'Automatic Scrollbars' setting on which works fine to show the scrollbars but it does not scroll
automatically. The MDI Child form is replicating a paper based form and so is quite long.
Thanks/Regards,
Gavin

Hi Gavin,
Have you had a look at using planes, automatically moving from one to another at the end of the former plane's last field.
This can be set to look like a large form and you can keep header information fixed while you "scroll" the form from plane to plane. Add a couple of buttons for 'next' 'previous' that look at the window's current plane and use that information in a a 'switch' to be active or gray, and move the form along or back.
