public class Scrollbar

extends Component

implements Adjustable, javax.accessibility.Accessible

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:

• AdjustmentEvent.TRACK is sent out when the user drags the scroll bar's bubble.
• AdjustmentEvent.UNIT_INCREMENT is sent out when the user clicks in the left arrow of a horizontal scroll bar, or the top arrow of a vertical scroll bar, or makes the equivalent gesture from the keyboard.
• AdjustmentEvent.UNIT_DECREMENT is sent out when the user clicks in the right arrow of a horizontal scroll bar, or the bottom arrow of a vertical scroll bar, or makes the equivalent gesture from the keyboard.
• AdjustmentEvent.BLOCK_INCREMENT is sent out when the user clicks in the track, to the left of the bubble on a horizontal scroll bar, or above the bubble on a vertical scroll bar. By convention, the Page Up key is equivalent, if the user is using a keyboard that defines a Page Up key.
• AdjustmentEvent.BLOCK_DECREMENT is sent out when the user clicks in the track, to the right of the bubble on a horizontal scroll bar, or below the bubble on a vertical scroll bar. By convention, the Page Down key is equivalent, if the user is using a keyboard that defines a Page Down key.

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

• AdjustmentEvent.TRACK replaces Event.SCROLL_ABSOLUTE
• AdjustmentEvent.UNIT_INCREMENT replaces Event.SCROLL_LINE_UP
• AdjustmentEvent.UNIT_DECREMENT replaces Event.SCROLL_LINE_DOWN
• AdjustmentEvent.BLOCK_INCREMENT replaces Event.SCROLL_PAGE_UP
• AdjustmentEvent.BLOCK_DECREMENT replaces Event.SCROLL_PAGE_DOWN

setMinimum

public void setMinimum(int newMinimum)

Sets the minimum value of this scroll bar.

When setMinimum is called, the limiting argument takes precedence over the existing scrollbar value.

Normally, a program should change a scroll bar's minimum value only by calling setValues. The setValues method simultaneously and synchronously sets the minimum, maximum, visible amount, and value properties of a scroll bar, so that they are mutually consistent.

Note that setting the minimum value to Integer.MIN_VALUE will result in the new minimum value to be set to Integer.MIN_VALUE - 1.
