Hi,
I would like to change color of scrollbar (in text box or any others). Is it
possible? How can I do it?
Thanks in advance,
Tomek

You can do that in Windows' display settings dialog.
 
Hi,
Yes but I would like to set it only for my application, not for every
windows.It is possible to set it in IE so I think that it is possible in
forms too.

It would involve subclassing the scrollbar and at least intercepting
WM_CTLCOLORxxx messages. You might want to search for the keyword
"WM_CTLCOLORSCROLLBAR" to get started.

This will work, but the result is really ugly when using Windows XP
Visual Styles.

Good point. I forget about styles completely because they're one of the
first things in XP I turn off (right after menu fade effect and hide
navigation indicators until I press the Alt key).
