ScrollBar (gb.qt4)

This class provides a scroll bar with user-definable range.

Events are triggered when you drag, click or otherwise move the bar.

The scrollbar automatically becomes vertical if its height is greater than its width. Otherwise it is horizontal.

If the zoom of a scrollable area can be changed, it is helpful to adjust the thumb width as an indicator of the size of the scrollable area. But since the thumb width is a function of ScrollBar.PageStep and ScrollBar.MinValue and ScrollBar.Value, it is hard to control. See this code snippet for a translation between relative values (range 0.. ... 1.0) and ScrollBar properties: Precise control of the display of a scroll bar
