  Is there a way to disable vertical scrollbar for datagridview and have a vscrollbarcontrol scroll the datagridview if yes, any suggestions, examples I want to use a custom scrollbar that has gradient paintings for the datagridview.

• Visual C# ManagedThreadID doesn't work for interop for SetWindowsHookEx.

  I am converting a VB6 program to be C#. Therefore I was looking up how to hook the application for mouse, key activity and I found this article by Microsoft. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318804/ In the code it uses AppDomain .GetCurrentThreadId() to set a callback thread for Hooking.

I can get a clean build by removing the namespace qualification from the assignment obj = new NAME ...Show All
