Max32,767.
Min0.
Remarks
The Windows environment automatically sets ranges for scroll bars proportional to the contents of forms, combo boxes, and list boxes. For a scroll bar control, however, you must specify these ranges. Use Max and Min to set a range appropriate to how the scroll bar control is usedfor example, as an input device or as an indicator of speed or quantity.
Typically, you set Max and Min at design time. You can also set them in code at run time if the scrolling range must change dynamicallyfor example, when adding records to a database that can be browsed with a scroll bar. You set the maximum and minimum scrolling increments for a scroll bar control with the LargeChange and SmallChange properties.
Note If Max is set to less than Min, the maximum value is then set at the leftmost or topmost position of a horizontal or vertical scroll bar, respectively.
