This message is sent by an application to a scroll bar control to set the minimum and maximum position values for the control.

nMinPos; 

lParam = (LPARAM) 
nMaxPos;

Parameters

nMaxPos

Specifies the maximum scrolling position.

Return Value

If the position of the scroll box changed, the return value is the previous position of the scroll box; otherwise, it is zero.

If the minimum and maximum position values are equal, the scroll bar control is hidden and, in effect, disabled.
