i've been looking at this control and wondering what it's uses are for.

all it does for me is just display a scrollbar and that's it ..

I've wondered that before. Hopefully it's not like ActionScript where it has to be attached to the text areas. I think you might be able to use them for setting values though (like a slider control)... Obviously, thats not what they're for, but thought I'd say it.

Have you had a look on MSDN

It is used in the preferences to scroll a ChildWindow to display more options (can't remember if this is still the case) you need to remember that some controls cannot be used in scripts however subclassing the window will allow you to monitor changes in the scrollbar.
