So I tried to do something like that today.
If e.NewValue = e.OldValue Then
MsgBox("hi")
End If
but it is not working the way I want it to work... The problem is that now if I click the arrows on the scroll bar, then only it works, if I use the (bar) *not the left/top right/bottom arrows, it shows the message box like 100x times. but even then I am having a problem. the problem is that, when I scroll back to the beginning, it shows that message box again.

Perhaps its not as MS once intended it. or perhaps it is...but the scrolling and value changed are two differed events.
if you press one of the scrolls arrows the program will make it scroll in that direction once. and then change the value. but when you drag the bar you scroll every time you move a little...but the value is only changed upon the key release.
a easy thing to do is to declare a private boolean (outside the event). and switch it true/false so the message box only displays once.
Private ScrollingMessage as Boolean = true
If e.NewValue = e.OldValue and ScrollingMessage Then
MsgBox("hi")
ScrollingMessage = false
elseif e.NewValue <> e.OldValue then
scrollingmessage = true
End If

yeah but this still causes the issue of 100x message boxes that are displayed when I use the bar instead of the arrows.
Edit:
And the issue of back scroll is still there..

I suggest you make a same sort of window and paste the following code in to see how it works:
Public Class Form1
Dim WithEvents scrollhandler As MyListener
Private scrolled As Boolean = False
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim index As Int32 = 0
Do While index < 100
txtscroll.Items.Add(index.ToString())
index += 1
Loop
scrollhandler = New MyListener(txtscroll)
End Sub
Private Sub scrollhandler_MyScroll(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles scrollhandler.MyScroll
End Sub
Private Sub txtscroll_MouseWheelScroll(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtscroll.MouseWheel
scrollhandler_MyScroll(e, e)
End Sub
Private Class MyListener
Inherits NativeWindow
Public Event MyScroll(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Const WM_MOUSEACTIVATE = &H21
Const WM_MOUSEMOVE = &H200
Private control As Control
Public Sub New(ByVal control As Control)
AssignHandle(control.Handle)
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef Messageevent As Message)
Const WM_HSCROLL = &H114
Const WM_VSCROLL = &H115
If Messageevent.Msg = WM_HSCROLL Or Messageevent.Msg = WM_VSCROLL Then
RaiseEvent MyScroll(control, New EventArgs)
End If
MyBase.WndProc(Messageevent)
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub Finalize()
ReleaseHandle()
MyBase.Finalize()
End Sub
End Class
End Class

Thanks for the example. but I still can't figure out how I can use this to know if the user has scrolled to the end.

EDIT: oh before i forget it: the maximum of your scroll bar is calculated by the total amount of items - the amount of items that can be displayed without a scroll bar

Did you test the code...?
Well... Because the above didn't work for me. I made a test project to see how it works. but it didn't show me any message...
|
|
|
|

Did you recalculate the max value of your scrollbar? if your listbox is of a differed size then mine (witch it probably is) you have to recalculate it.
just run the program. dont scroll and see how many items fit into the listbox (for me that where 18). you want to do the index - [the number you found]. after that it should work.
maxscroll = index - 18
|
|

Oh that kinda worked... but how am I ganna calculate the value in a control like this one:
When its normal screen size:
http://foto.pk/images/minx.png[^]
When its maximized:
http://foto.pk/images/maxx.png[^]
-------------------------------------------------------------
Btw. You asked why would I want to know this value before...
Answer) I don't actually want to show users "yay u reached the bottom" lol. I want the program to get more tweets when it reaches there.
The above that I am making is a v2 of my current twitter client called TRocket.

How do you fill the listbox? with a loop or a data binding?
EDIT:
oke something just shot to my mind. the items you add to your listbox are controls right? i forgot the object name but i've seen the code of those. this means they have a fixed sized right? you could calculate how much fit into your listbox if you read out the length and hight of it.
lets say for example your listbox is 300 pixels wide and 400 pixels high. your controls are 100 wide and 50 high. this would mean you can fit 3 rows of each 8 items = 24 items without scroll bar. so in a 'math' way:
[ammount of items] - (math.floor([with_listbox]/[with_control])+math.floor([hight_listbox]/[hight_control])) = maximum scroll value
-------------------
Ah oke, yea now its making sense  and i already figured it was for Trocket (read the thread about it) when i was helping you with a previous question.

Private Function CalculateMaxScrollValue(ByVal totalitems As Int64, ByVal controlhight As Int32, ByVal controlwith As Int32)
Return totalitems - (Math.Floor(controlwith / 482) * Math.Floor(controlhight / 114))
End Function
Add that function to your code to find the max scroll value.
Use that in combination with the code i send you in the previous posts in this topic. replace the txtscroll with the flowlayoutpanel1 and it should work (cant test it here).
as a side note: you might want to fine tune the if/else of mine a little to a "<" instead of "=". giving a exact value to a 'analog' control gives it a small change to trigger. also it seems like the program is single threaded. i don't know how long it takes to load those messages but your interface will hang (not responding ect) till the load is complete. looking into threading might be interesting.

Err my laptops fan got fried - is at the repair shop. - sorry for the late reply...
Anyway. So you mean I should just call this function on load? and replace the maxscroll = index - 18 on load?
|
|
|
|
|
Hey,
Sorry for my late response. I unfortunately fell ill.
to get back to your question: No, you call that function every time after the amount of items in your flowlayoutpanel changes.

maxscroll = index - 18 ?
the index property was giving an error in flowlayoutpanel. can you give me the example on the same code

hmm oke i admid my code was a bit of mess. i cleared it out a bit and made a example program so you can see how it works. Please follow the below steps.
1. start a new form project
2. Add is Listbox. set the name to txtscroll and the size to 254; 381
3. Add a button, call this one btnadd
4. copy paste the following code into the project (under the form you just made)

MyBase.Finalize()
End Sub
End Class
#End Region
End Class
5. run it scroll all the way down, hit the button and scroll down again.
oke now how does it work:
I explained the working of the scroll handlers before so to save some text i'll skip past those in here. the interesting part is in the button klick event. the first few lines is a random loop that will add 10 extra items to my listbox. i gues thats not to interesting, the line following after is.
It will set the maxscroll value to the return of the CalcMaxScroll sub. this sub requires you to give it the following information: The height property of your control. The With property of your control. the Height of the item you send to it (a listbox row is 13 high by default). the With of the item you send to it (in a listbox thats the full with). and the total ammount of items in the listbox. it will return you the maximum scroll position of your scrollbar.
Tought i now use this function with a listbox (i was to lazy to make a new project) it will work perfectly fine aswell with a flowlayout panel. just remember to send all the info to the function and that all the items in the box are the same size. if they aint the same size calculating will get a little harder....but not impossible.
ps: just put a breakpoint on the button klick event and watch what happends after the loop. keep the breakpoint on and scroll a bit. things get pretty clear once you see it running.

It seems your making a mistake in providing the arguemnts for your max scroll.
Quote: Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
scrollhandler = New MyListener(FlowLayoutPanel1)
maxscroll = CalcMaxScroll(FlowLayoutPanel1.Size.Height, FlowLayoutPanel1.Size.Width, 114, 1075, 19)
'19 number of tweets
'114 height of tweettimelinecontrol
'1075 width of flowlayoutpanel1
'last number tells the number of items. (read that from a global var)
End Sub
You say that the with of your flowlayoutpanel is 1075. yet you apply it to the formula as the with of your tweettimelinecontrol. quoting you from a previous post:
Quote:
Oh that kinda worked... but how am I ganna calculate the value in a control like this one:
When its normal screen size:
http://foto.pk/images/minx.png[^]
you can see in the screenshot that you got 2 of those controls next to eachoter so it can never be the total size of your flowlayoutpanel. please check the with property of your Tweettimelinecontrol and change the value. while your at it also change the 19 with a flowlayoutpanel.items.count to make sure it are 19.
