It looks as though the default behavior of ScrollableControls is to change their scroll position when activated so that the child control that has focus is within view.

Is there a way to turn off this behavior?

Hey Jeffrey, thanks for responding. Let me see if I can do a better job of explaining:

Let's say I have a form with AutoScroll set to true. I've also placed two text-boxes on the form, one near the top, and the other out of view at the bottom of the form (so the vertical scrollbar is visible).

When I run the app, the first textbox (at the top) has focus.I scroll down so that the second text-box is visible (but I don't give it focus). Now... I give some other window focus (maybe another application). When I return to the window in which I scrolled down, it immediately scrolls so that the first text-box (near the top) is visible, since it is the control with focus on my form.

I'm looking for a way to prevent that behavior. ie. the form would retain its vertical scroll position when it's activated regardless of which control on it's surface has focus.

Thanks,

A
