Scrolling panel

[Nathan]

Hi,

I have a panel on a form that contains a number of controls (all created at
design time), so many that the panel has a vertical scrollbar in order to
view all of them (panel1.AutoScroll = True). When the form first loads, the
panel's scrollbar automatically scrolls to about the middle rather than
staying at the top. After moving the scrollbar to the top, I click on one
of the controls, and a dialog box appears to allow me to edit it's
information. When I click OK on the dialog box, the information on the
control is changed, and the panel's scrollbar once again scrolls to the
middle. If I scroll to the top, then click a button that refills the
controls with different information, this problem disappears. Does anyone
have any idea what's going on, or what event is firing to cause the panel to
scroll automatically sometimes?

Thanks,
Nathan

Maybe a control that is not visible gets the focus and thus makes the panel
scroll.

You might be able to put a blank control at the top and do a
Control.Select() after the panel is populated. Or if you know that a
certain control will always be at the top, select that one.
