Overview

The Scroll Bar Control enables you to create horizontal and/or vertical bar objects associated with a scrollable area. The objects include arrows at each end and a movable thumb. The orientation attribute determines whether a scroll bar object is horizontal or vertical.

The thumb (rectangle between two arrows of the scroll bar) both shows a user's current position and can help the user move within a scrollable region. Move the thumb by

clicking on its arrows
clicking on either side of it
dragging it toward one of the arrows

Clicking on either side of the thumb moves one page in the appropriate direction. Clicking on the arrows at the ends of the scroll bar moves the thumb one increment in the appropriate direction.

The maximum value for a scroll bar is visually represented with the thumb at the far right position for a horizontal scroll bar, and with the thumb at the bottom position for a vertical scroll bar.

The minimum value is visually represented on the scroll bar with the thumb at the far left position for a horizontal scroll bar, and with the thumb at the top position for a vertical scroll bar.

Scroll bars allow users to navigate lists, text, or ranges of data values that would otherwise be too large to display.
