Thanks for the reply.

Been trying to find a simple example for most of this week without any luck :-( Keep getting the same few results which work because its a single control with its own scroll bar or takes up all of the window

I get the feeling that the answer to this one is either fiendishly difficult or trivial

What I don't get is how the process is supposed to work. Am I responsible for moving everything around, resizing and clipping it or is there some sort of viewport where I can "see" part of a larger virtual window.

If I stick too much on the window where does the excess go ? :-)
