Hi,

That is not a bug in win32lib.... u have the option of changing that value
in win32lib. Its also more importantly there to easily handle progressbar
scrolls.
     It is MS' fault for not updating the scrollbar... i mean the progress
bar suffers the same but in later version of comctl32 (ver 4.70 and above)
PBM_SETRANGE32 was introduced to allow 32 bit values for scroll range.
     I hope Derek adds this fix to win32lib since 96% of euphorians use
comctl32 4.7 and above.
     This is a very known issue to microsoft so don't blame win32lib. U can
still do some calculations to solve this bug. eg u make to every 1 scroll of
the thumb....get scroll*ratio... That was my first work around to progress
bar setrange.
