DESCRIPTION

       The QScrollBar widget provides a vertical or horizontal scroll bar.

       A scroll bar allows the user to control a value within a program-definable range and gives users a visible indication of the current value
       of a range control.

       Scroll bars include four separate controls:

       The line-up and line-down controls are little buttons which the user can use to move one "line" up or down. The meaning of line is
       configurable. In editors and list boxes it means one line of text; in an image viewer it might mean 20 pixels.

       The slider is the handle that indicates the current value of the scroll bar, which the user can drag to change the value. This part of the
       scroll bar is sometimes called the "thumb".

       The page-up/page-down control is the area on which the slider slides (the scroll bar's background). Clicking here moves the scroll bar
       towards the click. The meaning of "page" is also configurable: in editors and list boxes it means as many lines as there is space for in
       the widget.

       QScrollBar has very few of its own functions; it mostly relies on QRangeControl. The most useful functions are setValue() to set the scroll
       bar directly to some value; addPage(), addLine(), subtractPage(), and subtractLine() to simulate the effects of clicking (useful for
       accelerator keys); setSteps() to define the values of pageStep() and lineStep(); and setRange() to set the minValue() and maxValue() of the
       scroll bar. QScrollBar has a convenience constructor with which you can set most of these properties.

       Some GUI styles (for example, the Windows and Motif styles provided with Qt), also use the pageStep() value to calculate the size of the
       slider.

       In addition to the access functions from QRangeControl, QScrollBar provides a comprehensive set of signals: <center>.nf

       </center>

       QScrollBar only provides integer ranges. Note that although QScrollBar handles very large numbers, scroll bars on current screens cannot
       usefully control ranges above about 100,000 pixels. Beyond that, it becomes difficult for the user to control the scroll bar using either
       the keyboard or the mouse.

       A scroll bar can be controlled by the keyboard, but it has a default focusPolicy() of NoFocus. Use setFocusPolicy() to enable keyboard
       focus. See keyPressEvent() for a list of key bindings.

       If you need to add scroll bars to an interface, consider using the QScrollView class, which encapsulates the common uses for scroll bars.

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

QScrollBar::QScrollBar ( QWidget * parent, const char * name = 0 )
       Constructs a vertical scroll bar.

       The parent and name arguments are sent on to the QWidget constructor.

QScrollBar::QScrollBar ( Orientation orientation, QWidget * parent, const char * name = 0 )
       Constructs a scroll bar.

       The orientation must be Qt::Vertical or Qt::Horizontal.

       The parent and name arguments are sent on to the QWidget constructor.

QScrollBar::QScrollBar ( int minValue, int maxValue, int lineStep, int pageStep, int value, Orientation orientation, QWidget * parent, const char
       * name = 0 )
       Constructs a scroll bar whose value can never be smaller than minValue or greater than maxValue, whose line step size is lineStep and page
       step size is pageStep and whose value is initially value (which is guaranteed to be in range using bound()).

       If orientation is Vertical the scroll bar is vertical and if it is Horizontal the scroll bar is horizontal.

       The parent and name arguments are sent on to the QWidget constructor.

QScrollBar::~QScrollBar ()
       Destructor.

bool QScrollBar::draggingSlider () const
       Returns TRUE if the user has clicked the mouse on the slider and is currently dragging it; otherwise returns FALSE. See the
       "draggingSlider" property for details.

void QScrollBar::hideEvent ( QHideEvent * ) [virtual protected]
       This function is called when the scrollbar is hidden.

       Reimplemented from QWidget.

int QScrollBar::lineStep () const
       Returns the line step. See the "lineStep" property for details.

int QScrollBar::maxValue () const
       Returns the scroll bar's maximum value. See the "maxValue" property for details.

int QScrollBar::minValue () const
       Returns the scroll bar's minimum value. See the "minValue" property for details.

void QScrollBar::nextLine () [signal]
       This signal is emitted when the scroll bar scrolls one line down or right.

void QScrollBar::nextPage () [signal]
       This signal is emitted when the scroll bar scrolls one page down or right.

Orientation QScrollBar::orientation () const
       Returns the orientation of the scroll bar. See the "orientation" property for details.

int QScrollBar::pageStep () const
       Returns the page step. See the "pageStep" property for details.

void QScrollBar::prevLine () [signal]
       This signal is emitted when the scroll bar scrolls one line up or left.

void QScrollBar::prevPage () [signal]
       This signal is emitted when the scroll bar scrolls one page up or left.

void QScrollBar::setLineStep ( int )
       Sets the line step. See the "lineStep" property for details.

void QScrollBar::setMaxValue ( int )
       Sets the scroll bar's maximum value. See the "maxValue" property for details.

void QScrollBar::setMinValue ( int )
       Sets the scroll bar's minimum value. See the "minValue" property for details.

void QScrollBar::setOrientation ( Orientation ) [virtual]
       Sets the orientation of the scroll bar. See the "orientation" property for details.

void QScrollBar::setPageStep ( int )
       Sets the page step. See the "pageStep" property for details.

void QScrollBar::setPalette ( const QPalette & p ) [virtual]
       Reimplements the virtual function QWidget::setPalette().

       Sets the background color to the mid color for Motif style scroll bars using palette p.

       Reimplemented from QWidget.

void QScrollBar::setTracking ( bool enable ) [virtual]
       Sets whether scroll bar tracking is enabled to enable. See the "tracking" property for details.

   Property Documentation
bool draggingSlider
       This property holds whether the user has clicked the mouse on the slider and is currently dragging it.

       Get this property's value with draggingSlider().

int lineStep
       This property holds the line step.

       When setting lineStep, the virtual stepChange() function will be called if the new line step is different from the previous setting.

       See also setSteps(), QRangeControl::pageStep(), and setRange().

       Set this property's value with setLineStep() and get this property's value with lineStep().

int maxValue
       This property holds the scroll bar's maximum value.

       When setting this property, the QScrollBar::minValue is adjusted if necessary to ensure that the range remains valid.

       See also setRange().

       Set this property's value with setMaxValue() and get this property's value with maxValue().

int minValue
       This property holds the scroll bar's minimum value.

       When setting this property, the QScrollBar::maxValue is adjusted if necessary to ensure that the range remains valid.

       See also setRange().

       Set this property's value with setMinValue() and get this property's value with minValue().

Orientation orientation
       This property holds the orientation of the scroll bar.
