.NET Compact framework - make scrollbars wider

Is there some way, how to make scrollbar wider in winforms for .net compact framework? I want to be application finger-friendly, but the scrollbars are very narrow for people with not-small fingers.

EDIT:

The problem is with built-in scrollbars in components like ListView, DataGrid, etc...

Windows Mobile 6.0, .NET Compact Framework 3.5

Thanks.

I haven´t checked that, because I have no device but rumor has it that you can change the Size per Regstry Settings:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE]

cyHScr=13 - Default height of horizontal scrollbar

cxVScr=13 - Default width of vertical scrollbar

Kind Regards

Thomas

But it affects all applications in device. It can break UI layout of another applications.

Since Scrollbars are Systemwide in Use and not Control specific, you will have to create your own controls with your own scrollbar.

I think I´m wrong, check the ScrollBar Class in System.Windows.Controls.Primitives

This namespace is not available in Compact Framework.

Have a look in the System.Windows.Forms namespace. There is a ScrollBar class there.

@tmolog: I know System.Windows.Forms.ScrollBar class. But what should do I with it?
