There should be a Setting in the Properties Window called ScrollBars. Set that to Horizontal, Vertical, or Both.

Hello i again.
First i declare a class that inherits rectangle shape
CODE
Public Class decNode Inherits Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.RectangleShape

I have s shape container
CODE

        Friend WithEvents myCanvas As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.ShapeContainer
        myCanvas.Parent = Me
        myCanvas.AutoScroll = True
        myCanvas.AutoSize = True
        myCanvas.SetAutoScrollMargin(3, 3)

And i create new shapes and assign them to canvas
CODE

        Dim myRect As New decNode
        myRect.Parent = myCanvas

I have tried everything to display or make scrollbars visible.
if i move the shape to a position outside the visible area nothing happens.
So is there any suggestion ?
Thanks

You can't. It is a light weight control. Can you not use a label or picturebox with the border set to single and no content?
