How to make autoscroll bars not visible?

Question

Hello,

Question as stated in Title. I have a GUI with autoscroll, the problem flowlayoutpanel is to be scrolled with fingers on a touch screen monitor, it does not need scroll bar functionality. How can I make these scroll bars non visible or remove these scroll bars without removing the ability to scroll? .visible doesn't work with autoscroll I've noticed, is there a way to overwrite their paint events?

Thank you,

Maybe you should experiment with this:

If FlowLayoutPanel1.VerticalScroll.Visible Then
    FlowLayoutPanel1.Width += SystemInformation.VerticalScrollBarWidth
    FlowLayoutPanel1.Padding = New Padding With {.Left = 0, .Top = 0, .Right = SystemInformation.VerticalScrollBarWidth, .Bottom = 0}
End If

If FlowLayoutPanel1.HorizontalScroll.Visible Then
    FlowLayoutPanel1.Height += SystemInformation.HorizontalScrollBarHeight
    FlowLayoutPanel1.Padding = New Padding With {.Left = 0, .Top = 0, .Right = FlowLayoutPanel1.Padding.Right, .Bottom = SystemInformation.HorizontalScrollBarHeight}
End If

If the FlowLayout panel is inside a tab page or another panel, then the right and bottom sides, which contain the scrollbars, become invisible.

However, the scrollbars should be probably kept visible for better orientation.

You would need to disable auto scroll, capture the touch events and implement scroll in code.
