I check this snippet:

https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/Snippets_(_GUI_)#GUI_With_Scrollable_TabItem

Modified them and I refactored. That's because I needed to adapt it to my needs (I'll write later).
I thought I understood how it works.
But I was wrong.

 

This is my example which is showing what I want to achieve. 

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiScrollBars.au3>
#include <GUIScrollbars_Ex.au3>
#include <StringConstants.au3>
#include <StructureConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_VSCROLL, WM_VSCROLL)

I have few problems with this code, and many question related to them.

Question 1:
How to make the Scrollbars to work ?
I mean to scroll buttons.

Question 2:
Do I must to ues Child Window, or is it possible to scroll buttons without using Child Window ?

Question 3:
Why after uncommenting this following line: 

;~  _GUIScrollBars_SetScrollRange($hChild, $SB_VERT, 3, 30)

the ScrollBar disapears ?

Anticipating Errors :  "Any program that accepts data from a user must include code to validate that data before sending it to the data store. You cannot rely on the data store, ...., or even your programming language to notify you of problems. You must check every byte entered by your users, making sure that data is the correct type for its field and that required fields are not empty."
