The ScrollBar control consists of a Thumb control and two RepeatButton controls. You can increase and decrease the RangeBase::Value property of the ScrollBar control by pressing the RepeatButton controls or by moving the Thumb. The default range of values for the RangeBase::Value property is from 0 to 10. The RangeBase::Value represents the linear distance of the Thumb between the endpoints of the ScrollBar. You can change the default range of values by setting the RangeBase::Minimum and RangeBase::Maximum properties. The Orientation property determines whether the ScrollBar is displayed horizontally or vertically.
The scroll track in a ScrollBar is oriented so that values increase from top to bottom for a vertical ScrollBar or from left to right for a horizontal ScrollBar.
For a list of the initial property values for an instance of the ScrollBar class, see the ScrollBar() constructor.
To display content inside a box that has scrollbars, use the ScrollViewer control.
