Question

Using a WebBrowser control in my Windows Forms application, I want to retrieve the information, whether a horizontal scrollbar is currently being shown.

E.g. I want to create a function/property, let’s call it “HasHorzontalScrollbar“, that either returns true or false:

I’ve tried to use Spy++ to inspect the window and I tried to read the size from the window similar the following, but I’m still unable to get meaningful values:

var height1 = webBrowser1.Document.Window.Size.Height;
var height2 = webBrowser1.Height;

My question is:

Is there a way to query the WebBrowser whether the horizontal scrollbar is currently visible?

Edit: Solved

Thanks to the help from Yahia, I was able to develop a solution:

public bool HasHorizontalScrollbar
{
    get
    {
        var width1 = webBrowser.Document.Body.ScrollRectangle.Width;
        var width2 = webBrowser.Document.Window.Size.Width;

        return width1 > width2;
    }
}

This works in my test environment.

try

var height = webBrowser1.Document.Body.ScrollRectangle.Height;
