Remote scroll bars

[barnesdmd]

This seems in many ways like a very simple problem but one which I've been having a lot of trouble with, I've spent some time looking over the internet for a solution without success although I have suspicions this is related to the queries I've used.

Essentially I have two windows one of which has a text box in it (we'll call this Form 1) with a large amount of text input automatically. I need to control the vertical scroll position of this text box from the other window (Form 2) so not through the scroll bars built into the text box itself. So in a first step scenario from which I can then build on I'm after a couple of buttons on Form 2 which when pressed scroll the text box on Form 1 up or down respectively by a few lines.

Any help would be very much appreciated,

Many thanks,

Duncan

Just pass it through a property on the local form
