Very simple question about HScrollbar

[Sahil Malik]

I am making a user control.

It has a Hscrollbar,
and a label.

and I have a piece of code that links them together as -
private void hScrollBar1_Scroll(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.ScrollEventArgs e)
{
label1.Text = hScrollBar1.Value.ToString() ;
}

(Also the relevant event handler) .... Sounds pretty simple huh?

Except, the Maximum Value of my scrollbar is 100, but the damn thing won't
scroll beyond 91.

Please help.

Never mind .. I figured it out .. and I HATE how cheesy out of the box
windows forms controls are.

That's by design:

When you think of "Maximum" do you think of "Maximum" or "Maximum -
LargeChange + 1". (Badly documented, this is mentioned in the fine print
only)
Also, the scrollbar in datagrids work different, they are "Maximum -
LargeChange". (Not documented at all).

So next time when you ask for a pitcher of beer, I will give you a pitcher
minus a glass plus a peg, but if you order your beer programatically, then
you get a full pitcher.
