How to get a proper skinned scrollbox

created 17 years ago

Hi Support team,
please have a look at the attached project. I have a page control with several controls on different tab sheets. Some tab sheets have less, others more controls. Those with the most controls need to be located on a scroll box to made them visible if the tab sheet / form is too small.
After changing the layout to use skinning, the scrollbox is the only 'ugly area' in the application.
Is there a component available in your libraries providing the same feature like the scrollbox (show scroll bars in case of a too small parent area) ?
Or is it possible to skin the scroll box ? Inserting a TcxGroupBox between TScrollBox and the EditControls will not be the result.
Your help is appreciated.
(I know, that there is a suggestion to add a TcxScrollBox control - it is "accepted, release TBD" - but it is from 2006… maybe, in the meantime any news are available ? …)
BR

    I add just another fix (just in case there is someone who wants to use it…) - visibility management of the scroll bars was not OK (when the window was maximized and then resored, no scroll bars were visible). Not it works fine and I've added it to my program.

        Hi Support Team,
        I've got an email from one of your customers asking for an update of the uScrollBox due to Delphi 7 compatibility.
        There are some minor fixes, thus I'll provide a new verseion here.
