Autoscroll - but without the scrollbars

[Cheetah]

Hi there,

Basically, I am creating a keyboard only application, so I want the effect of autoscroll on a flow planel layout control but i don't want the scroll bars to be visible.

Is there a way of achieving this without adding complex logic to do it manually?

Thanks.

EDIT:

Just incase you were wondering - "why would you want to do that?"....it's because if i have a load of buttons in a flow panel layout, but half of them are hidden, i can press the down key and it would cycle throw them, bringing them into view, but that is only with autoscroll enabled.

Scrolling only work with scrollbars enabled. Why would the visible scrollbar be a problem? Scrolling works both with keyboard and mouse by default without need for any setting or code, in the case of keyboard only navigation the scrollbar still function as a visual cue to the user about the functionality present. Also, scrolling don't work without the scrollbars enabled. There is for example the ScrollControlIntoView method, and the Horiz-/Vert-Scrollbar properties, but they are not functional without a scrollbar.

Thanks for your reply.

The reason for wanted to do this is that it is a custom control and I don't want the scrollbars there as they ruin the aesthetics as it is a custom skinned application.

I am not too clued up on the paint events and things like that, but is there anyway to override them and make them not "draw" the scrollbars?
