Scroll bar buttons

[Joel Whitehouse]

Hello All,

I am wondering how I can get a pair or usercontrol buttons that look
like the ones on a horizontal scroll bar. I don't want a scrollbar
really, just the buttons with the nifty little arrows. Is there any
practical way in which I can exploit previously written code, or do I
have to draw my own little GDI+ arrows over a captionless button?

There is no such control avialable in the .NET Framework's class library.
However, check out the 'ControlPaint' class and the
'System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles' namespace (.NET 2.0 only).

Thanks! I have VS2003 with .NET 1.1. Is there any way that I can
upgrade my .NET version without getting VS2005?

No, VS.NET 2003 is tied to .NET 1.1.
