SystemScrollBar Component

SystemHScrollBar and SystemVScrollBar controls are used to provide easy navigation through a long list of items or a large amount of information by scrolling either horizontally or vertically within an application or control.

PureComponents SystemScrollBar controls are used to provide easy navigation through a long list of items or a large amount of information by scrolling either horizontally or vertically within an application or control. Scroll bars are a common element of the Windows interface, so the SystemScrollBar control is often used with controls that do not derive from the ScrollableControl class. Similarly, many developers choose to incorporate the SystemScrollBar control when authoring their own user controls.

The SystemHScrollBar (horizontal) and SystemVScrollBar (vertical) controls operate independently from other controls and have their own set of events, properties, and methods. SystemScrollBar controls are not the same as the built-in scroll bars that are attached to text boxes, list boxes, combo boxes, or MDI forms (the TextBox control has a ScrollBars property to show or hide scroll bars that are attached to the control).

The SystemScrollBar controls use the Scroll event to monitor the movement of the scroll box (sometimes referred to as the thumb) along the scroll bar. Using the Scroll event provides access to the scroll bar value as it is being dragged.
