I wrote a winform control, and want to scroll some part of the control, but
other parts.

Can I use DisplayRectangle? dotnet document only explain it very simply.

Thanks.

Use interop to call the Win32 ScrollWindow API.

Hi Bolo,

I think giving a little more specific information about what you are doing
(is this a UserControl hosted in a Form ? what type of container are you
referring to : a Form ? A Panel ?) would help us give you a more focused
response. In this case are the things you want to move in one container, and
the things you don't want to move in another container, or are they all in
the same container ?

best, Bill

Hi, Bill:

Thanks for your more detailed consideration.
Actually my userControl will be hosted in IE, so if use interop to call the
Win32 ScrollWindow API will
cause secrurity problem.

The logic difficulty is, I want implement a feature like MS Excel's freezing
window. The top left area is
frozen, the left area, top area, and bottom right can be scrolled.

Dot net supports a scrollable control feature by setting by using the 3
Autoscroll properties. This applies to the entire control though so in order
to do what you want you'll need to use 2 usercontrols.
