[Carlos Alberto Cortez]

Hey Chris,

Sorry for the late answer (spent some time fixing some other winforms
bugs).

Commnts below.

As I can understand it, the AddExpose calls (in ScrollWindow method) are
not there to take into account the possibility of child can be larger
than its parents, but to invalidate the area not being copied when doing
the scroll. 

For example, to try this thing, I put a listview in a form, with the
listview being smaller than the form, and I still see the AddExpose
calls (from console messages indicating so).

And not, it's not being done already somewhere else. 

Taking a look at the sample at 324513  could help.

Probably I'm still missing something?

Hope this helps,
Carlos.
