Red face Old Windows 98 API ScrollBar calls in DBGrid

Delphi has left an over sight out in all in their code
This affects TGrid and its descendants directly (TDBGrid).
The real problem is when Microsoft removes the old Windows 98 API calls in (expectantly) Windows 8, your Delphi code certainly will not run at all final on the new Windows!!!!!!
I think its going to affect every project of Delphi regardless because the calls are so perverlant. (test it with my kit on your web site)

Please visit my web site under construction and download my kit to help you evaluate for your self of the implications that would be incurred.

Fortunately, we mainly speak C++, Java, and Labview when programming our robots. Maybe a few try Python.

I don't think I'll be running an unsolicited "help kit" from such a questionable source...

Talking Re: Old Windows 98 API ScrollBar calls in DBGrid

Well you can talk jokes BUT
The truth is in the testing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

look at the MSDN web site
Look at
SetScrollPos
SetScrollRange
GetScrollPos
GetScrollRange
Then look at your *.pas files and do a search

in the next version opf windows this may not allow your programs/projects to work.

and then who is the joke on!!!!!!!!!
but I like your hummer.

Closing ... ChiefDelphi is not about Delphi programming.
