Class Scrollbar

public class Scrollbar
extends Component
implements Adjustable

The Scrollbar class embodies a scroll bar, a familiar user-interface object. A scroll bar provides a convenient means for allowing a user to select from a range of values. The following three vertical scroll bars could be used as slider controls to pick the red, green, and blue components of a color:

Each scroll bar in this example could be created with code similar to the following:


 redSlider=new Scrollbar(Scrollbar.VERTICAL, 0, 1, 0, 255);
 add(redSlider);
 

Alternatively, a scroll bar can represent a range of values. For example, if a scroll bar is used for scrolling through text, the width of the "bubble" or "thumb" can represent the amount of text that is visible. Here is an example of a scroll bar that represents a range:

The value range represented by the bubble is the visible range of the scroll bar. The horizontal scroll bar in this example could be created with code like the following:


 ranger = new Scrollbar(Scrollbar.HORIZONTAL, 0, 60, 0, 300);
 add(ranger);
 

Note that the actual maximum value of the scroll bar is the maximum minus the visible. In the previous example, because the maximum is 300 and the visible is 60, the actual maximum value is 240. The range of the scrollbar track is 0 - 300. The left side of the bubble indicates the value of the scroll bar.

Normally, the user changes the value of the scroll bar by making a gesture with the mouse. For example, the user can drag the scroll bar's bubble up and down, or click in the scroll bar's unit increment or block increment areas. Keyboard gestures can also be mapped to the scroll bar. By convention, the Page Up and Page Down keys are equivalent to clicking in the scroll bar's block increment and block decrement areas.

When the user changes the value of the scroll bar, the scroll bar receives an instance of AdjustmentEvent. The scroll bar processes this event, passing it along to any registered listeners.

Any object that wishes to be notified of changes to the scroll bar's value should implement AdjustmentListener, an interface defined in the package java.awt.event. Listeners can be added and removed dynamically by calling the methods addAdjustmentListener and removeAdjustmentListener.

The AdjustmentEvent class defines five types of adjustment event, listed here:

The JDK 1.0 event system is supported for backwards compatibility, but its use with newer versions of JDK is discouraged. The fives types of adjustment event introduced with JDK 1.1 correspond to the five event types that are associated with scroll bars in previous JDK versions. The following list gives the adjustment event type, and the corresponding JDK 1.0 event type it replaces.

Since:
JDK1.0

Scrollbar

public Scrollbar(int orientation)
Constructs a new scroll bar with the specified orientation.

The orientation argument must take one of the two values Scrollbar.HORIZONTAL, or Scrollbar.VERTICAL, indicating a horizontal or vertical scroll bar, respectively.

Parameters:
orientation - indicates the orientation of the scroll bar.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - when an illegal value for the orientation argument is supplied.

Scrollbar

public Scrollbar(int orientation,
                 int value,
                 int visible,
                 int minimum,
                 int maximum)
Constructs a new scroll bar with the specified orientation, initial value, page size, and minimum and maximum values.

The orientation argument must take one of the two values Scrollbar.HORIZONTAL, or Scrollbar.VERTICAL, indicating a horizontal or vertical scroll bar, respectively.

If the specified maximum value is less than the minimum value, it is changed to be the same as the minimum value. If the initial value is lower than the minimum value, it is changed to be the minimum value; if it is greater than the maximum value, it is changed to be the maximum value.

Parameters:
orientation - indicates the orientation of the scroll bar.
value - the initial value of the scroll bar.
visible - the size of the scroll bar's bubble, representing the visible portion; the scroll bar uses this value when paging up or down by a page.
minimum - the minimum value of the scroll bar.
maximum - the maximum value of the scroll bar.
