I have a form with a colored background, but the space where the scrollbar will appear on the form if needed is a solid gray rectangle. Is there a way to change this color, so that is matches the form? I'm fine with the scrollbar itself being gray I just don't want that gray placeholder to be visible.
 
You would have to subclass the Form. With A2K or higher this would require an external subclassing DLL. IT's a lot of complex coding for a non standard UI.
