You can also attach different scroll bars. To do so, use the event OnUpdateExternScrollbar:

 

The event OnUpdateExternScrollbar makes it possible to update the position of an external scrollbar. The parameters are automatically limited to a maximal value of 20000 my calculating a multiplicator value.

 

This values are accessible through the properties ScrollVertMultiplicator and ScrollHorzMultiplicator.

 

    // Update the position of the scrollbar

    procedure TForm1.WPRichText1UpdateExternScrollbar(

              Sender: TWPCustomRtfEdit;

              ScrollBar: TScrollStyle;

              Range, Page,Pos: Integer);

    begin

      if ScrollBar=ssVertical then

      begin

        ScrollBar1.PageSize := Page;

        ScrollBar1.Max := Range;

        ScrollBar1.Position := Pos;

      end;

    end;

 

    // Change position when Scroll event happens

    procedure TForm1.ScrollBar1Scroll(Sender: TObject;

     ScrollCode: TScrollCode; var ScrollPos: Integer);

    begin

         WPRichText1.TopOffset := Round(ScrollPos / WPRichText1.ScrollVertMultiplicator);

    end;
