A Scrollbar +can be used alone, as a value generator, or it can be used +within a composite widget (for example, a Viewport). When a +Scrollbar is used to move, or ``scroll,'' the contents of +another widget, the size and the position of the thumb usually give +feedback as to what portion of the other widget's contents +are visible. +</para> + +<para> +Each pointer button invokes a specific action. Pointer +buttons 1 and 3 do not move the thumb automatically. +Instead, they return the pixel position of the cursor on the +scroll region. When pointer button 2 is clicked, the thumb +moves to the current pointer position. When pointer button +2 is held down and the pointer is moved, the thumb follows +the pointer. +</para> + +<para> +The pointer cursor in the scroll region changes depending on the current +action. When no pointer button is pressed, the cursor appears as a +double-headed arrow that points in the direction that scrolling can +occur. When pointer button 1 or 3 is pressed, the cursor appears as a +single-headed arrow that points in the logical direction that the thumb +will move. When pointer button 2 is pressed, the cursor +appears as an arrow that points to the top or the left of the thumb. +</para> + +<para> +When the user scrolls, the application receives notification +through callback procedures. For both discrete scrolling actions, the +callback returns the Scrollbar widget, the client_data, and the pixel +position of the pointer when the button was released. For continuous +scrolling, the callback routine returns the scroll bar widget, the +client data, and the current relative position of the thumb. When the +thumb is moved using pointer button 2, the callback procedure is invoked +continuously. When either button 1 or 3 is pressed, the callback +procedure is invoked only when the button is released and the client +callback procedure is responsible for moving the thumb. +</para> + +<sect2
