Either a horizontal or vertical bar with increment and decrement buttons and a "thumb" with which the user can interact. Typically not used alone but used for building up more complicated controls such as the ScrollPane and ListView.

ScrollBar sets focusTraversable to false.

This example creates a vertical ScrollBar: 

 ScrollBar s1 = new ScrollBar();
s1.setOrientation(Orientation.VERTICAL);

Field Detail

blockIncrementback to summary
private DoubleProperty blockIncrement

The amount by which to adjust the scrollbar if the track of the bar is clicked.

DEFAULT_STYLE_CLASSback to summary
private static final String DEFAULT_STYLE_CLASS

Initialize the style class to 'scroll-bar'. This is the selector class from which CSS can be used to style this control.

HORIZONTAL_PSEUDOCLASS_STATEback to summary
private static final PseudoClass HORIZONTAL_PSEUDOCLASS_STATE

Pseudo-class indicating this is a horizontal ScrollBar.

maxback to summary
private DoubleProperty max

The maximum value represented by this ScrollBar. This should be a value greater than or equal to min. Default value is 100.

minback to summary
private DoubleProperty min

The minimum value represented by this ScrollBar. This should be a value less than or equal to max. Default value is 0.

orientationback to summary
private ObjectProperty<Orientation> orientation

The orientation of the ScrollBar can either be HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL.

unitIncrementback to summary
private DoubleProperty unitIncrement

The amount by which to adjust the ScrollBar when the increment or decrement methods are called.

valueback to summary
private DoubleProperty value

The current value represented by this ScrollBar. This value should be between min and max, inclusive.

VERTICAL_PSEUDOCLASS_STATEback to summary
private static final PseudoClass VERTICAL_PSEUDOCLASS_STATE

Pseud-class indicating this is a vertical ScrollBar.

visibleAmountback to summary
private DoubleProperty visibleAmount

Visible amount of the scrollbar's range, typically represented by the size of the scroll bar's thumb.

Constructor Detail

ScrollBarback to summary
public ScrollBar()

Creates a new horizontal ScrollBar (ie getOrientation() == Orientation.HORIZONTAL).

Method Detail

adjustValueback to summary
public void adjustValue(double position)

Adjusts the value property by blockIncrement. The position is the fractional amount between the min and max. For example, it might be 50%. If #minProperty min were 0 and #maxProperty max were 100 and value were 25, then a position of .5 would indicate that we should increment value by blockIncrement. If value were 75, then a position of .5 would indicate that we should decrement value by blockIncrement.

Note

This function is intended to be used by experts, primarily by those implementing new Skins or Behaviors. It is not common for developers or designers to access this function directly.

Parameters
position:double

the position

createDefaultSkinback to summary
protected Skin<?> createDefaultSkin()

Overrides javafx.scene.control.Control.createDefaultSkin.

Doc from javafx.scene.control.Control.createDefaultSkin.

Create a new instance of the default skin for this control. This is called to create a skin for the control if no skin is provided via CSS -fx-skin or set explicitly in a sub-class with setSkin(...).

@Override
decrementback to summary
public void decrement()

Decrements the value of the ScrollBar by the unitIncrement

executeAccessibleActionback to summary
public void executeAccessibleAction(AccessibleAction action, Object... parameters)

Overrides javafx.scene.control.Control.executeAccessibleAction.

Doc from javafx.scene.control.Control.executeAccessibleAction.

This method is called by the assistive technology to request the action indicated by the argument should be executed.

This method is commonly overridden by subclasses to implement action that are required for a specific role.
If a particular action is not handled, the superclass implementation must be called.

protected Boolean getInitialFocusTraversable()

Overrides javafx.scene.control.Control.getInitialFocusTraversable.

Returns the initial focus traversable state of this control, for use by the JavaFX CSS engine to correctly set its initial value. This method is overridden as by default UI controls have focus traversable set to true, but that is not appropriate for this control.
