## Class JScrollBar

- java.lang.Object
- - java.awt.Component
  - - java.awt.Container
    - - javax.swing.JComponent
      - - javax.swing.JScrollBar

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Adjustable, ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable, Accessible
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    JScrollPane.ScrollBar

      public class JScrollBar
      extends JComponent
      implements Adjustable, Accessible

  An implementation of a scrollbar. The user positions the knob in the scrollbar to determine the contents of the viewing area. The program typically adjusts the display so that the end of the scrollbar represents the end of the displayable contents, or 100% of the contents. The start of the scrollbar is the beginning of the displayable contents, or 0%. The position of the knob within those bounds then translates to the corresponding percentage of the displayable contents.

  Typically, as the position of the knob in the scrollbar changes a corresponding change is made to the position of the JViewport on the underlying view, changing the contents of the JViewport.

  Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy.

  Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans™ has been added to the `java.beans` package. Please see `XMLEncoder`.

      The model that represents the scrollbar's minimum, maximum, extent (aka "visibleAmount") and current value.

        `setModel(javax.swing.BoundedRangeModel)`

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### JScrollBar

          public JScrollBar(int orientation,
                            int value,
                            int extent,
                            int min,
                            int max)

      Creates a scrollbar with the specified orientation, value, extent, minimum, and maximum. The "extent" is the size of the viewable area. It is also known as the "visible amount".

      Note: Use `setBlockIncrement` to set the block increment to a size slightly smaller than the view's extent. That way, when the user jumps the knob to an adjacent position, one or two lines of the original contents remain in view.

      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if orientation is not one of VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL
      See Also:
        `setOrientation(int)`, `setValue(int)`, `setVisibleAmount(int)`, `setMinimum(int)`, `setMaximum(int)`

           extent = 10

    - #### JScrollBar

          public JScrollBar()

      Returns the component's orientation (horizontal or vertical).
      Specified by:
        `getOrientation` in interface `Adjustable`
      Returns:

      Set the scrollbar's orientation to either VERTICAL or HORIZONTAL.
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if orientation is not one of VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL

    - #### getModel

          public BoundedRangeModel getModel()

    - #### getUnitIncrement

          public int getUnitIncrement(int direction)

      Returns the amount to change the scrollbar's value by, given a unit up/down request. A ScrollBarUI implementation typically calls this method when the user clicks on a scrollbar up/down arrow and uses the result to update the scrollbar's value. Subclasses my override this method to compute a value, e.g. the change required to scroll up or down one (variable height) line text or one row in a table.

      The JScrollPane component creates scrollbars (by default) that override this method and delegate to the viewports Scrollable view, if it has one. The Scrollable interface provides a more specialized version of this method.

      Some look and feels implement custom scrolling behavior and ignore this property.

      Parameters:
        `direction` - is -1 or 1 for up/down respectively
      Returns:
        the value of the unitIncrement property
      See Also:
        `setUnitIncrement(int)`, `setValue(int)`, `Scrollable.getScrollableUnitIncrement(java.awt.Rectangle, int, int)`

    - #### setUnitIncrement

          public void setUnitIncrement(int unitIncrement)

      Sets the unitIncrement property.

      Note, that if the argument is equal to the value of Integer.MIN_VALUE, the most look and feels will not provide the scrolling to the right/down.

      Some look and feels implement custom scrolling behavior and ignore this property.

      Specified by:
        `setUnitIncrement` in interface `Adjustable`
      Parameters:
        `unitIncrement` - the unit increment
      See Also:
        `getUnitIncrement(int)`

    - #### getBlockIncrement

          public int getBlockIncrement(int direction)

      Returns the amount to change the scrollbar's value by, given a block (usually "page") up/down request. A ScrollBarUI implementation typically calls this method when the user clicks above or below the scrollbar "knob" to change the value up or down by large amount. Subclasses my override this method to compute a value, e.g. the change required to scroll up or down one paragraph in a text document.

      The JScrollPane component creates scrollbars (by default) that override this method and delegate to the viewports Scrollable view, if it has one. The Scrollable interface provides a more specialized version of this method.

      Some look and feels implement custom scrolling behavior and ignore this property.

      Parameters:
        `direction` - is -1 or 1 for up/down respectively
      Returns:
        the value of the blockIncrement property
      See Also:
        `setBlockIncrement(int)`, `setValue(int)`, `Scrollable.getScrollableBlockIncrement(java.awt.Rectangle, int, int)`

    - #### setBlockIncrement

          public void setBlockIncrement(int blockIncrement)

      Sets the blockIncrement property.

      Note, that if the argument is equal to the value of Integer.MIN_VALUE, the most look and feels will not provide the scrolling to the right/down.

      Some look and feels implement custom scrolling behavior and ignore this property.

      Specified by:
        `setBlockIncrement` in interface `Adjustable`
      Parameters:
        `blockIncrement` - the block increment
      See Also:

        `getMinimum()`, `BoundedRangeModel.setMinimum(int)`

    - #### getMaximum

          public int getMaximum()

      The maximum value of the scrollbar is maximum - extent.
      Specified by:

      Specified by:
        `setMaximum` in interface `Adjustable`
      Parameters:
        `maximum` - the maximum value
      See Also:
        `getMaximum()`, `BoundedRangeModel.setMaximum(int)`

    - #### getValueIsAdjusting

          public boolean getValueIsAdjusting()

      True if the scrollbar knob is being dragged.
      Returns:
        the value of the model's valueIsAdjusting property
      See Also:
        `setValueIsAdjusting(boolean)`

    - #### setValueIsAdjusting

          public void setValueIsAdjusting(boolean b)

      Sets the model's valueIsAdjusting property. Scrollbar look and feel implementations should set this property to true when a knob drag begins, and to false when the drag ends. The scrollbar model will not generate ChangeEvents while valueIsAdjusting is true.
      See Also:
        `getValueIsAdjusting()`, `BoundedRangeModel.setValueIsAdjusting(boolean)`

    - #### setValues

          public void setValues(int newValue,
                                int newExtent,
                                int newMin,
                                int newMax)

      Sets the four BoundedRangeModel properties after forcing the arguments to obey the usual constraints:

           minimum ≤ value ≤ value+extent ≤ maximum

      See Also:
        `BoundedRangeModel.setRangeProperties(int, int, int, int, boolean)`, `setValue(int)`, `setVisibleAmount(int)`, `setMinimum(int)`, `setMaximum(int)`

    - #### addAdjustmentListener

          public void addAdjustmentListener(AdjustmentListener l)

      Adds an AdjustmentListener. Adjustment listeners are notified each time the scrollbar's model changes. Adjustment events are provided for backwards compatibility with java.awt.Scrollbar.

      Note that the AdjustmentEvents type property will always have a placeholder value of AdjustmentEvent.TRACK because all changes to a BoundedRangeModels value are considered equivalent. To change the value of a BoundedRangeModel one just sets its value property, i.e. model.setValue(123). No information about the origin of the change, e.g. it's a block decrement, is provided. We don't try fabricate the origin of the change here.

      Specified by:
        `addAdjustmentListener` in interface `Adjustable`
      Parameters:
        `l` - the AdjustmentLister to add
