it's usable as every other control with windows messages, hwoever, scrollbars are a pain in the bottom, even in C++ programs, they're just miles from being user friendly. Here's a piece of code from Plus! that may help you.

code:

---

SCROLLINFO infoScroll; ZeroMemory(&infoScroll, sizeof(infoScroll));
        infoScroll.cbSize = sizeof(SCROLLINFO);
        infoScroll.fMask = SIF_DISABLENOSCROLL|SIF_PAGE|SIF_POS|SIF_RANGE;
        infoScroll.nPage = rcOptionsArea.Height();
        infoScroll.nMax = pOptionsWnd->m_nRealHeight;
        infoScroll.nPos = pOptionsWnd->m_nCurrentScrollPos;
        if(infoScroll.nMax <= (int)infoScroll.nPage)
        {
            ::EnableScrollBar(wndScroll, SB_CTL, ESB_DISABLE_BOTH);
            wndScroll.ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
        }
        else
        {
            ::EnableScrollBar(wndScroll, SB_CTL, ESB_ENABLE_BOTH);
            wndScroll.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
        }

        :: SetScrollInfo(wndScroll, SB_CTL, &infoScroll, TRUE);
