Can you send me your code?
My email is in my profile.
I will look at right away and i hope i can give you a good solution.

Please don''t use an imagebox for every tile in your map editor (if that is what you are doing). Be sure that you are doing something more sensible like using the GDI functions to blit the tiles to the screen, that way it will also become easier to use the scrollbars to scroll through your map.

To use scrollbars add the standard VB ones (in the tool wotsit) and then write code to link them to the imageboxes/whatevers.
If you are doing a tile-based editor I recommend using the PictureClip control and hooking that up to a PictureBox. You can paint any tile to any part, and you just use the scrollbar values to offset where you paint it. Simple code (not sure if I''ve got the right function names but it should give you a good idea - I think 0,0 is top left):
Note: the code is untested but it should give you a good idea of what you need to do.

Just what is Karma? Is it a way to rate people? A way of assigning privilege levels? Or is karma just an anti-spam system?

since it sounds like you use image/pictureboxes for the tiles and not a paint method, here is another "easy" alternative to solve the problem:
-make a new MDIform and set it as the start form
-set the MDIchild proprety of your map form to true
=> now, you should see your map like a document in the MDI window
-resize the map form to the wished dimension
=> tadam! working scrollbars are appearing on the MDI window

-set the MDIchild proprety of your map form to true
=> now, you should see your map like a document in the MDI window

no that wont work
It is possible to use the standard VB scrollbars, I have a map editor that I''m working on which uses exactly those scrollbars and they work fine, you simply have to add some code to them. Don''t expect to just be able to use what''s there without any code. That will never happen. You keep saying that won''t work and crap but you don''t give any details. Explain some more so we can help you out. Might want to post some code so we can have a look at what you''ve got and try to help you out.
