Well that's... bizzare.. I don't seem to have such issues, persay. but.. I 
am not working on such a control. The code thus far has been targeted at 
TScrollBox, and future support for TForm.  So I haven't tried what you are 
doing yet.

do you mean the ThumbSize? If so, nope.. couldn't figure out how, and it 
wasn't vital to my goals, so I didn't spend time lookig into it. ( I will, 
eventually, maybe soon, but don't coun't on it....) Increment represents how 
much it scrolls down by.. it doesn't apear to be working either.. Again I do 
not know why... I will look at it later.

Can you send me directly what you have thus far? If I have your existing 
code it may make it easier to track down and implement these features in 
Custom Drawn controls, etc.. it will certainly make figuring out the extra 
200 easier.. and if I think there is hope for modifying it, I may use it to 
start a basic TCustomGrid,  this way we can take those things which apply 
from your code and add them to CVS, so that at least some of the steps will 
be in place for a real TStringGrid.( I  looked around but couldn't find any 
worthwhile Freeware Components outt here as they all inherit from 
TCustomGrid)

BTW, within TScrollBox, I have AutoScroll, and Turning on/off the scrollbars 
working on my system. If I get a chance to make sure it doesn't break 
functionality, or screw anything up I will send the fixes in with my next 
Patch.  probably over the weekend when I have more time.
