<code class="constructorsynopsis cpp"><span class="methodname">BScrollBar</span>(<span class="methodparam"><span class="type"><a class="link" href="BMessage.html" title="BMessage"><code class="classname">BMessage</code></a>* </span><span class="parameter">archive</span></span>);</code>
</div><p>
Initializes the <code class="classname">BScrollBar</code> and connects it to the target view that it
will scroll. It will be a horizontal scroll bar if posture is
<code class="constant">B_HORIZONTAL</code> and a vertical scroll bar if posture is
<code class="constant">B_VERTICAL</code>.
</p><p>
The range of values that the scroll bar can represent at the outset is
set by <code class="parameter">min</code> and <code class="parameter">max</code>.
These values should be calculated from the boundaries
of a rectangle that encloses the entire contents of the target
view—everything that it can draw. If <code class="parameter">min</code>
and <code class="parameter">max</code> are both 0, the
scroll bar is disabled and the knob is not drawn.
</p><p>
The object's initial value is 0 even if that falls outside the range set
for the scroll bar.
</p><p>
The other arguments, <code class="parameter">frame</code> and <code class="parameter">name</code>,
are the same as for other
<a class="link" href="BView.html" title="BView"><code class="classname">BView</code></a>s:
</p><ul class="itemizedlist"><li><p>
The <code class="parameter">frame</code> rectangle locates the scroll bar within its parent view.
For consistency in the user interface, a horizontal scroll bar should
be <code class="constant">B_H_SCROLL_BAR_HEIGHT</code> coordinate units high, and a vertical scroll
bar should be <code class="constant">B_V_SCROLL_BAR_WIDTH</code> units wide.
</p></li><li><p>
The <code class="classname">BScrollBar</code>'s <code class="parameter">name</code> identifies it and permits it to be located by
the <a class="link" href="BView.html#BView_FindView" title="FindView()"><code class="methodname">FindView()</code></a> function. It can be <code class="constant">NULL</code>.
</p></li></ul><p>
Unlike other <a class="link" href="BView.html" title="BView"><code class="classname">BView</code></a>s,
the <code class="classname">BScrollBar</code> constructor doesn't set an automatic
resizing mode. By default, scroll bars have the resizing behavior that
befits their posture—horizontal scroll bars resize themselves
horizontally (as if they had a resizing mode that combined
<code class="constant">B_FOLLOW_LEFT_RIGHT</code> with <code class="constant">B_FOLLOW_BOTTOM</code>)
and vertical scroll bars resize
themselves vertically (as if their resizing mode combined
<code class="constant">B_FOLLOW_TOP_BOTTOM</code> with <code class="constant">B_FOLLOW_RIGHT</code>).

Responds to a notification that the value of the scroll bar has changed
to <code class="parameter">newValue</code>. For a horizontal scroll bar, this function interprets
<code class="parameter">newValue</code> as the coordinate value that should be at the left side of the
target view's bounds rectangle. For a vertical scroll bar, it interprets
<code class="parameter">newValue</code> as the coordinate value that should be at the top of the
rectangle. It calls
<a class="link" href="BView.html#BView_ScrollTo"><code class="methodname">ScrollTo()</code></a>
to scroll the target's contents into
position, unless they have already been scrolled.
</p><p>
<code class="methodname">ValueChanged()</code> is called as the result both of user actions
(<code class="constant">B_VALUE_CHANGED</code> messages received from the
<span class="application">Application Server</span>) and of
programmatic ones. Programmatically, scrolling can be initiated by the
target view (calling <a class="link" href="BView.html#BView_ScrollTo"><code class="methodname">ScrollTo()</code></a>)
or by the <code class="classname">BScrollBar</code> (calling
<a class="link" href="BScrollBar.html#BScrollBar_SetValue" title="SetValue(), Value()"><code class="methodname">SetValue()</code></a>
or <a class="link" href="BScrollBar.html#BScrollBar_SetRange" title="SetRange(), GetRange()"><code class="methodname">SetRange()</code></a>).
</p><p>
In all these cases, the target view and the scroll bars need to be kept
in synch. This is done by a chain of function calls:
<code class="methodname">ValueChanged()</code> calls
<a class="link" href="BView.html#BView_ScrollTo"><code class="methodname">ScrollTo()</code></a>,
which in turn calls <a class="link" href="BScrollBar.html#BScrollBar_SetValue" title="SetValue(), Value()"><code class="methodname">SetValue()</code></a>,
which then calls
<code class="methodname">ValueChanged()</code> again. It's up to <code class="methodname">ValueChanged()</code> to get off this
merry-go-round, which it does by checking the target view's bounds
rectangle. If <code class="parameter">newValue</code> already matches the left or top side of the bounds
rectangle, if forgoes calling
<a class="link" href="BView.html#BView_ScrollTo"><code class="methodname">ScrollTo()</code></a>.
</p><p>
<code class="methodname">ValueChanged()</code> does nothing if a target
<a class="link" href="BView.html" title="BView"><code class="classname">BView</code></a> hasn't been set—or if
the target has been set by name, but the name doesn't correspond to an
actual <a class="link" href="BView.html" title="BView"><code class="classname">BView</code></a> within the scroll bar's window.
</p><p>
Derived classes can override this function to interpret <code class="parameter">newValue</code>
differently, or to do something in addition to scrolling the target view.

These functions set and return a value between 0.0 and 1.0 that
represents the proportion of the entire document that can be displayed
within the target view—the ratio of the width (or height) of the
target's bounds rectangle to the width (or height) of its data rectangle.
This ratio determines the size of a proportional scroll knob relative to
the whole scroll bar. It's not adjusted to take into account the minimum
size of the knob.
</p><p>
The proportion should be reset as the size of the data rectangle changes
(as data is entered and removed from the document) and when the target
view is resized.

These functions modify and return the range of the scroll bar.
<code class="methodname">SetRange()</code>
sets the minimum and maximum values of the scroll bar to <code class="parameter">min</code> and <code class="parameter">max</code>.
<code class="methodname">GetRange()</code> places the current minimum and maximum in the variables that
<code class="parameter">min</code> and <code class="parameter">max</code> refer to.
</p><p>
If the scroll bar's current value falls outside the new range, it will be
reset to the closest value—either <code class="parameter">min</code> or <code class="parameter">max</code>—within range.
<a class="link" href="BScrollBar.html#BScrollBar_ValueChanged" title="ValueChanged()"><code class="methodname">ValueChanged()</code></a>
is called to inform the <code class="classname">BScrollBar</code> of the change whether
or not it's attached to a window.
</p><p>
If the <code class="classname">BScrollBar</code> is attached to a window, any change in its range will
be immediately reflected on-screen. The knob will move to the appropriate
position to reflect the current value.
</p><p>
Setting both the minimum and maximum to 0 disables the scroll bar. It
will be drawn without a knob.

<code class="methodname">SetSteps()</code> sets how much a single user action should change the value of
the scroll bar—and therefore how far the target view should scroll.
<code class="methodname">GetSteps()</code> provides the current settings.
</p><p>
When the user presses one of the scroll arrows at either end of the
scroll bar, its value changes by a <code class="parameter">smallStep</code> coordinate units. When the
user clicks in the bar itself (other than on the knob), it changes by a
<code class="parameter">bigStep</code> units. For an application that displays text, the small step of a
vertical scroll bar should be large enough to bring another line of text
into view.
</p><p>
The default small step is 1.0, which should be too small for most
purposes; the default large step is 10.0, which is also probably too
small.

These functions set and return the target of the <code class="classname">BScrollBar</code>, the view
that the scroll bar scrolls. <code class="methodname">SetTarget()</code> sets the target to
<code class="parameter">view</code>, or to
the <a class="link" href="BView.html" title="BView"><code class="classname">BView</code></a>
identified by <code class="parameter">name</code>. <code class="methodname">Target()</code> returns the current target view.
The target can also be set when the <code class="classname">BScrollBar</code> is constructed.
</p><p>
<code class="methodname">SetTarget()</code> can be called either before or after the
<code class="classname">BScrollBar</code> is
attached to a window. If the target is set by <code class="parameter">name</code>, the named view must
eventually be found within the same window as the scroll bar. Typically,
the target and its scroll bars are children of a container view that
serves to bind them together as a unit.
</p><p>
When the target is successfully set, a pointer to the <code class="classname">BScrollBar</code> object
is passed to the target view. This lets the target update its scroll bars
when its contents are scrolled.

These functions modify and return the value of the scroll bar. The value
is usually set as the result of user actions; <code class="methodname">SetValue()</code> provides a way
to do it programmatically. <code class="methodname">Value()</code> returns the current value, whether set
by <code class="methodname">SetValue()</code> or by the user.
</p><p>
<code class="methodname">SetValue()</code> assigns a new <code class="parameter">value</code> to the scroll bar and calls the
<a class="link" href="BScrollBar.html#BScrollBar_ValueChanged" title="ValueChanged()"><code class="methodname">ValueChanged()</code></a>
hook function, whether or not the new value is really a
change from the old. If the value passed lies outside the range of the
scroll bar, the <code class="classname">BScrollBar</code> is reset to the closest value within
range—that is, to either the minimum or the maximum value
previously specified.
</p><p>
If the scroll bar is attached to a window, changing its value updates its
on-screen display. The call to
<a class="link" href="BScrollBar.html#BScrollBar_ValueChanged" title="ValueChanged()"><code class="methodname">ValueChanged()</code></a>
enables the object to
scroll the target view so that it too is updated to conform to the new
value.
</p><p>
The initial value of a scroll bar is 0.
