Description

A control that allows the user to scroll the content in a windowed control, by moving a slider.

TScrollBar appears as a long rectangular track bar, within which a smaller contrasting block or slider can move up and down (or from side to side in a horizontal ScrollBar). It has small triangular indicators or pointers on one or both ends of the bar, depending on the widgetset.

Clicking with the mouse on one of the pointers moves the slider a small distance (SmallChange) in the specified direction. Clicking with the mouse in the blank area of the scrollbar above or below the slider makes the slider move by a larger increment (LargeChange).

The slider can also be moved by clicking on it with the mouse, and holding down the button while moving the mouse. The slider then follows the mouse until the button is released.

If the mouse has a scrollwheel, the slider also can be moved by rotating the wheel.

The arrow keys or the Page Up/Page Down keys on the keyboard can be used to move the slider, too.

The location of the slider along the track is held in the Position property. It's the programmer's responsibility to ensure that the content of the window is scrolled to the new Position of the scrollbar.
