Adding a horizontal scroll bar to window form

Question

I have a window form which has many controls and I need to set horizontal scroll bar for width of the form. Moreover, I am displaying it as a child form to mdi parent and when I maximize the form, display is not proper. How can I set and bind horizontal scroll bar to form width so that it is scrollable.

Any type of help will be appreciated.

Set AutoScroll property of your form to true:

Form1.AutoScroll = true;

Setting above property to true just got me vertical scrolling working but I couldn't get access to horizantal scrolling. – KamalSubodh Mar 06 '16 at 08:56
well it shows scroll bars as needed. if your content's width is bigger than your form width you will get a horizontal scrollbar. if content height is bigger you will get a vertical scroll bar. if both are bigger you will get both scrollbars. – Ashkan Mobayen Khiabani Mar 06 '16 at 08:58
@KamalSubodh Please test with a simple form to see what I mean – Ashkan Mobayen Khiabani Mar 06 '16 at 08:59
