Change color of scroll bar in a grid

I was wondering if somebody could tell me if it’s possible to change the color or the scroll bar. My intention is to hide the scroll bars of a grid I have created. I read it somewhere that it’s not possible to do so. So, I was thinking about chaging the color to the backgroud. Any idea?

Only if the native widget supports it, and I think only wxGTK does (and only if the current theme allows it.)

The scrollbars will be hidden automatically if the grid window is large enough that it doesn't need to scroll the content.

Thanks for the response Robin…

Problem I am running into now is when I use a sizer with expand flag it does not expand the grid such that all of it is visible and no scroll bars are needed. Is there a way to force this behaviour.

See Stanni's message in the "sizer question" thread. Basically you need to set the min size of the grid so the sizers know how big you want it to be. You can then use the sizer to resize and fit the frame.
