Details:
Scroll bars are most commonly used to control the vertical and horizontal
movement of a graphic view port or list. A scroll bar appears on an object if its
contents cannot be completely displayed in the designated area. They can also be
used as a visual method for setting a particular value.
Scroll bars consist of a horizontal or vertical bar with arrows at each end
and a scroll box, called a thumb, between the two arrows.
The position of the thumb on the scroll bar corresponds directly to the value
represented by the scroll bar. When the thumb is at the far left position on a
horizontal scroll bar, it corresponds to the scroll bar's minimum value
setting. The far right position of the thumb corresponds to the maximum value setting.
A minimum and maximum value on a vertical scroll bar is indicated by placing
the thumb at the top and bottom, respectively. Any other value places the thumb
at a position proportional to the value represented by the bar.
To increase or decrease the scroll bar value by small amounts, click on one of
the two arrows. Clicking within the scroll bar area to either side of the
thumb allows larger amounts of change. You can also click and drag the thumb to the
desired position on the bar, and the value is set accordingly. The value of a
scroll bar can also be set in the program's code.
