Calling SetScrollInfo before ShowScrollBar doesn't work for me. I have found no workarounds. Walter, when guys from microsoft will fix their bug?

Possible bug in Vista with non-client scrollbar rendering
Hi
We've discovered what would seem to be a bug with the new "fading"
scrollbars in Vista
If the horizontal or vertical scrollbars are removed from a window _while_
they in the process of fading out, the system can sometimes draw the
scrollbar over the top of the client area once the fade-out timer elapses
I have put example source code + a demonstration program online at
http://bytebounce.com/file/295/30a66/vistascrollbarbug.zi
To repeat the problem, position the mouse over one or other of the
scrollbars to make the scrollbar fade in. Then move the mouse off the
scrollbar to make it fade out, and immediately (while the fade out is still
occurring), press the appropriate key (as given in the instructions
displayed in the main window of the demo program) to turn that scrollbar
off. More often than not, the scrollbar will disappear and then immediately
be redrawn over the top of the now-resized client area
The question I have is, is this a known bug, and are there any workarounds
Regards
Jonathan Potter

Looks like a bug (one of many). My suggested fixes are (take your pick
1. Do a 'manual' KillTimer to prevent the WM_TIMER messages
2. Subclass the window (if necessary) and process its WM_TIMER message -
'eat' them when there are no scrollbars displayed to prevent the
DefWindowProc from doing the animation
3. Use SetWindowPos with SWP_FRAMECHANGED|SWP_DRAWFRAME in a vain attempt to
convince Windows that the scrollbars really have gone
Worth a try I'd say

We did think of this but unfortunately neither are really practical for two
reasons. Firstly we don't "know" what the timer ID is (or is going to be),
and so can't kill it, and secondly, the timer seems to use a callback
function and so it never comes to our window procedure. We can't block the
timer in the message loop because our window is hosted by another
application and we don't have our own message loop to block it in
Good idea but doesn't make any difference :
Cheers

Hi Jon
Thank you very much for your feedback. I've been able to reproduce the
issue on Vista RTM when Aero Glass effect is turned on.
I've reported this to product team and I will discuss with them to see if
there's any workaround for now. Thank you for your patience and
understanding
Sincerely

ok.....but IIRC even a 'callback' timer will result in a message being sent
to the thread's message loop. Perhaps a message-hook or something similar?
Also is the timer ID constant? It's a shame to see more bugs introduced into
the UI over time, instead of it being improved as you'd expect.
How about this:
4. Install your own timer when you alter the scrollbars' visibility, and set
it so that it goes off after the animation delay built into Vista. When your
timer goes off do a manual redraw/whatever of the window. OK you'll get the
scrollbar appearing briefly but at least it'll vanish during your 'tidy up'.
5. Sublass the window and process WM_NCMOUSEMOVE messages (or whatever is
appropriate). Whenever you get one that indicates that the mouse is over the
scrollbar, *and* you have removed the scrollbar style, then 'eat' the
mouse-message to prevent the scrollbar from seeing it.

Unfortunately, because they're using a callback timer and we don't have our
own message loop, we don't get to see the WM_TIMER message ever. It never
arrives. A message hook might help with this I guess - it seems like an
awfully kludgy way of doing it though :(
Even if it did, the app plays an animation and the scrollbar would flicker
over the top of it as each frame was drawn.
We can't catch WM_NCMOUSEMOVE because the mouse has already moved and the
timer already been started by the time we know we need to hide the scrollbar
(this is triggered by the user clicking a button which causes the scrollbar
to be hidden.)
Thanks for trying though :)
Cheers,
Jon

You don't need to see their WM_TIMER - the idea was to use your own with
SetTimer. You'll need to inject into their process of course...
Sure you can - you will see WM_NCMOUSEMOVE before the target window and
therefore prevent it from even starting the animation timer.

investigation. If you think this is important for your product and want to
know when we will fix it, please contact Microsoft Customer Support and
Service and refer me when our engineer contacts you, I will let the
engineer know the bug ID of this issue. Please note since this is a
confirmed issue, this service request should be free.

Hi Walter (and others),
Just wanted to report back that we have found an easy workaround for this.
From the developer:
"Calling SetScrollInfo seems to cancel the fade-out animation so if you call
SetScrollInfo before ShowScrollbar(...,FALSE) then you can work around the
bug.
Previously I only called SetScrollInfo for the scrollbars I wanted to (keep)
visible. I removed that check and now call it all the time and it seems to
have fixed the problem."
