I'm using p/invoke to call EnableScrollBar
from user32.dll
(MSDN reference). I noticed that when the scrollbar is enabled, it seems to draw as though no theme is applied and then re-drawn with the theme applied. I've only tested with Windows 7 so far. Is there
any way to stop this from happening?
EDIT: Here's some code to show what happens (dump into a form with scrollbars):
private class Native
{
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public static extern bool EnableScrollBar(IntPtr hWnd, uint wSBflags, uint wArrows);
public static class SBArrows
{
public const uint ESB_ENABLE_BOTH = 0;
public const uint ESB_DISABLE_BOTH = 3;
public const uint ESB_DISABLE_LEFT = 1;
public const uint ESB_DISABLE_RIGHT = 2;
public const uint ESB_DISABLE_UP = 1;
public const uint ESB_DISABLE_DOWN = 2;
public const uint ESB_DISABLE_LTUP = 1;
public const uint ESB_DISABLE_RTDN = 2;
}
public static class SBFlags
{
public const uint SB_HORZ = 0;
public const uint SB_VERT = 1;
public const uint SB_CTL = 2;
public const uint SB_BOTH = 3;
}
}
private bool Switch = false;
protected override void OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs e)
{
Native.EnableScrollBar(this.Handle, Native.SBFlags.SB_HORZ, this.Switch ? Native.SBArrows.ESB_DISABLE_BOTH : Native.SBArrows.ESB_ENABLE_BOTH);
this.Switch = !this.Switch;
}
Final Solution
Native.SendMessage(this.Handle, Native.WindowMessages.WM_SETREDRAW, new IntPtr(0), IntPtr.Zero);
Native.EnableScrollBar(this.Handle, Native.SBFlags.SB_HORZ, Native.SBArrows.ESB_ENABLE_BOTH);
Native.SendMessage(this.Handle, Native.WindowMessages.WM_SETREDRAW, new IntPtr(1), IntPtr.Zero);
