modifying a WinForm's base class components

Question

I've got an MDI form going and i want to permanently remove the scrollbars. Autoscroll=flase doesnt work too well so count that out. Now i'm thinking if the scrollbars are actually children of the class Windows.Forms.Form how can i access this base class to remove its components? Any idea how this is done? The only tutorials i found were related to overriding base class methods but i need to override base class form components. mike

You're on the right track you will need to override the paint method of the MDI form. I wish I could be more specific than that but I can't since I've never done it myself. All I know is that components are drawn during paint so if you override that then you can control the individual components.
