Scroll Position ReportViewer

Question

Hello,
is there a way to retrieve and set the scroll position (Horizontal and Vertical of course) of the WinForm CrystalReportViewer.
I tried everything (includinng the analysis of the controls of the control CrystalReportViewer) and none of the controls of CrystalReportViewer or the control itself have the Property VerticalScroll.Value filled, it always contains the value 0.
I also tried to step into the scroll event but it is not raised.
My application is a WinForm Application and I use CR2008 with Oracle.
Thank you.

I remember putting this together for someone else a while back. It's been a long time since I've run this code so I give no warranty with this solution. I believe the trick was getting into the Form_Paint event, then accessing a specific TabControl for the CrystalReportViewer.
It was very much a trial and error solution.
Give it a try and see if it helps you out.
Note: This is also address in this thread How to Set , Get CrystalReportViewer Scroll position in .NET.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace cr12_modify_viewer_scroll_position
    public partial class Form1 : Form
        public Form1()
            InitializeComponent();
        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
            crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Application.StartupPath + "\\..\\..\\CrystalReport1.rpt";
        private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
            MessageBox.Show("Form1 Paint");
            // get the tab control
            TabControl boTabControl = (TabControl)crystalReportViewer1.Controls[0].Controls[0];
            TabPage boTabPage = boTabControl.TabPages[0];
            boTabPage.VerticalScroll.Value = boTabPage.VerticalScroll.Maximum / 2;
            crystalReportViewer1.Refresh();
