yes you're right sorry... use WS_VSCROLL instead. Then the vertical scroll bar will be visible as soon as it's needed.
In case you haven't got it (or aren't using it), maybe you can use Schnok (a free wb3d gui editor) to help you out. You can tweak styles as much as you want and instantly see the result, tweak and play around with it - and export straight to blitz3d code that you can include in your project.
