Class ScrollBar

public abstract class ScrollBar extends Range

Deprecated: This class is part of the java-gnome 2.x family of libraries, which, due to their inefficiency and complexity, are no longer being maintained and have been abandoned by the java-gnome project. This class may in the future have an equivalent in java-gnome 4.0, try looking for org.gnome.gtk.ScrollBar. You should be aware that there is a considerably different API in the new library: the architecture is completely different and most notably internals are no longer exposed to public view.

The ScrollBar widget is an abstract base class for HScrollBar and VScrollBar. It is not very useful in itself.

The position of the thumb in a scrollbar is controlled by the scroll adjustments. See Adjustment for the fields in an adjustment - for ScrollBar, the "value" field represents the position of the scrollbar, which must be between the "lower" field and "upper - pageSize." The "pageSize" field represents the size of the visible scrollable area. The "stepIncrement" and "pageIncrement" fields are used when the user asks to step down (using the small stepper arrows) or page down (using for example the PageDown key).

Method Detail

getType

public static Type getType()

Deprecated: Superceeded by java-gnome 4.0; a method along these lines may well exist in the new bindings, but if it does it likely has a different name or signature due to the shift to an algorithmic mapping of the underlying native libraries.
