Yep  it is a Point of Sale solution and they do not have a mice I have tried inheriting the Print preview control but there is no protected method/property/variables available to use the scrollbar. I have tried sending the WM_mousewheel messages to the control i have tried sending mouse down messages with exact xy coordinates of the scrollbar arrow but nothign has worked so far.

Do you mean they don't have mice at the workstations? One option you have is to create a custom control that inherits from PrintPreviewDialog and add the functionality yourself. It doesn't sound like a lot of fun to me but its an option :) -James
