  In order to have a cohesive user experience, I would like the fpspread scrollbars to look and act the same as say the scroll bars in the C1InputPanel. The FlatScrollBarRenderer is close. I am trying to write my own renderer implementing IScrollBarRenderer) but cannot see how any of the drawing subs know if the element is being hovered over or pressed.
  
  Thanks,

  Hello,

  You can use the “EnhancedScrollBarRenderer” to customize the scrollbar of the spread. Please refer to the following line of code:

  
              FarPoint.Win.Spread.EnhancedScrollBarRenderer enhancedScrollBarRenderer1 = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.EnhancedScrollBarRenderer();
  enhancedScrollBarRenderer1.ArrowColor = System.Drawing.Color.Navy;
              enhancedScrollBarRenderer1.ArrowHoveredColor = System.Drawing.Color.Navy;
              enhancedScrollBarRenderer1.ArrowSelectedColor = System.Drawing.Color.Navy;
              enhancedScrollBarRenderer1.ButtonBackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightSteelBlue;
              enhancedScrollBarRenderer1.ButtonBorderColor = System.Drawing.Color.SteelBlue;
              enhancedScrollBarRenderer1.ButtonHoveredBackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.DeepSkyBlue;
              enhancedScrollBarRenderer1.ButtonHoveredBorderColor = System.Drawing.Color.DeepSkyBlue;
              enhancedScrollBarRenderer1.ButtonSelectedBackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.SteelBlue;
              enhancedScrollBarRenderer1.ButtonSelectedBorderColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightSteelBlue;
              enhancedScrollBarRenderer1.TrackBarBackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightSkyBlue;
              enhancedScrollBarRenderer1.TrackBarSelectedBackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.SteelBlue;
              this.fpSpread1.HorizontalScrollBar.Renderer = enhancedScrollBarRenderer1;
  
  

  Hope it helps.

  Thanks,

  Hi Mohit,
  
  The EnhancedScrollBarRenderer does not look exactly like the scrollbars found in The C1 controls. So if I am still wishing to write my own renderer that will perform and look as they do. So my question stands. How do I know the hover and pressed states of the parts of the scroll bars when they are to be painted? Since the FlatScrollBarRenderer does this using the IScrollBarRenderer albeit with inaccessible hover and pressed colors, there must be a way.

  Hello,

  Currently, it is not possible to add a custom scrollbar in the spread as of now.

  Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.

  Thanks,

  Hello,

  FYI, our development has taken this into consideration. If they found it feasible, they will add the same in a future build of spread.

  Thanks,

  void IScrollBarRenderer.DrawArrowButton(Graphics g, Rectangle bounds, FpScrollBarButton element)
