I think you have to use your own scroll bar controls, not the default
scroll bars.

See in Win32.hlp:
Standard Scroll Bars and Scroll Bar Controls

A scroll bar control can have a number of styles that serves to
control the orientation and position of the scroll bar. You specify
the styles that you want when you call the CreateWindowEx function to
create a scroll bar control. Some of the styles create a scroll bar
control that uses a default width or height. However, you must always
specify the x- and y-coordinates and the other dimensions of the
scroll bar. Following are the scroll bar control styles. 
{etc}

Then, farther in...
Creating Scroll Bars
{code showing how to create your own sized bars}
