Is there any way programatically change the scrollbar width and thumb size
for any of the standard windows forms controls (ListBox, ListView DataGrid
etc) without having to set the system wide settings in Control Panel ?

I'd prefer not to have to do an owner drawn scrollbar, because you then have
to deal with XP themes.

Thanks

Steve

Steve,

I wouldn't recommend doing this if your app is designed for others to
use. Users who want to adjust a scrollbar width will usually only want
to do this if they have a visual impairment and need it wider. In such
a case, they will want it wider on all controls and not just in your
app. Or do you have a compelling reason for doing it for some other
reason?

Best Regards
Johann Blake
