Unable to Hide Scroll Bar

[wcall]

I am unable to hide the horizontal and vertical scroll bars for a window that is too large to fit the screen area. My goal is to hide the scroll bars, however, when I attempt to hide the scroll bars using the ShowScrollBar method, the scroll bars immediately appear again. The view has been created using the CFormView Class. If I shrink the window [dialog resource] using the resource editor so that the runtime window fits on the screen, the scroll bars do go away. However, I do not want to shrink the window. Is there a way to hide the scroll bars when the window is larger than the screen size? Or does the Windows OS always try to display the scroll bars? Who is control?

in MFC you can use CWnd::ShowScrollBar

in WinAPI:
BOOL ShowScrollBar( HWND hWnd,
int wBar,
BOOL bShow
);

I have attempted to use the CWnd::ShowScrollBar feature. In fact, I put the CWnd::ShowScrollBar routine in a timer interrupt routine. The timer triggers each second. This causes the scroll bars to flicker. My code, using the CWnd::ShowScrollBar routine, hides the scroll bars once a second, and then some other code or maybe the Windows OS shows the scroll bars. The scroll bars flicker. I just don't understand what is causing the scroll bars to re-appear.
