Here's something I just put together. I think it would be useful in a few projects. I created this based on something that I'm currently working on, but it is by no means a complete solution. It works though.
The main issue i'm having is dynamically measuring the height of the slider for a vertical scrollbar, width for a horizontal, at runtime, as this changes depending on how many lines, or how long the longest line is, in the textbox.
Therefore in my code below, right now MaxHorizontal and MaxVertical are really useless, until I can take the nPos, and add the height/width of the vertical/horizontal slider, to compare.
I can easily measure for when the scrollbar is at position 0 though (min).
Nonetheless, here is an extended textbox class that now has official scrollbar events.
