The following example sets the control to display scroll tips. In the BeforeScrollTip event, the application displays the row or column index of the current row or column.

C++

BOOL CAboutDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
    CDialog::OnInitDialog();
    // Move the rows or columns with the scroll box
    m_Spread.SetScrollBarTrack(3);
    // Show the scroll tips
    m_Spread.SetShowScrollTips(3);
}

void CAboutDlg::OnBeforeScrollTipSpread1(long IsVertical, long Index, BSTR FAR* Text, VARIANT FAR* Width)
{
    char buffero[40];
    _ltoa(Index, buffero, 10);
    // Show the row or column index number
    m_Text.SetText(buffero);
}

Visual Basic

Private Sub Form_Load()
    ' Move the rows or columns with the scroll box
    fpSpread1.ScrollBarTrack = ScrollBarTrackBoth
    ' Show the scroll tips
    fpSpread1.ShowScrollTips = ShowScrollTipsBoth
End Sub

Private Sub fpSpread1_BeforeScrollTip(ByVal IsVertical As Long, ByVal Index As Long, Text As String, Width As Variant)
    ' Show the row or column index number
    Debug.Print Index
End Sub
