1. A scrolling question and a tab question
- Posted by browncy at auburn.edu

I'm writing text to a window with wPuts() and wPrint() I need to be able to
make the window scrollable to see all of the text. Is there a way to render
this? I know how to do it without smoothly scrolling, by showing a page at a
time, but I'd much rather get a VScroll to work. And I'd like to avoid using
a List or a RichEdit if at all possible. Any suggestions?
My tab question is pretty easy. On a tab control, how do I get a certain
tab to be selected? On the window's open event, I want a certain tab to be
displayed.
Thanks,
Derek Brown

Just guessing but you could try BitBlt to scroll the client area on a Scroll
event and then draw the single "uncovered" line. I used this technique on
DOS and Amiga platforms with some success. I'll see if I can knock up a
simple demo.
