.. _wx.ScrollEvent:

==========================================================================================================================================
|phoenix_title|  **wx.ScrollEvent**
==========================================================================================================================================

A scroll event holds information about events sent from stand-alone scrollbars (see :ref:`wx.ScrollBar`) and sliders (see :ref:`wx.Slider`).          

Note that scrolled windows send the :ref:`wx.ScrollWinEvent`  which does not derive from :ref:`wx.CommandEvent`, but from :ref:`wx.Event`  directly - don't confuse these two kinds of events and use the event table macros mentioned below only for the scrollbar-like controls. 



|phoenix_title| The difference between ``EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE`` and ``EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED``
=============================================================================================

The ``EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE`` event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb using the mouse and releasing it (This ``EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE`` event is also followed by an ``EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED`` event). The ``EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED`` event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the ``EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE`` event does not happen). In short, the ``EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED`` event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page) to see the difference between ``EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE`` and ``EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED`` in action. 



.. _ScrollEvent-events:

|events| Events Emitted by this Class
=====================================

Handlers bound for the following event types will receive one of the :ref:`wx.ScrollEvent` Event macros: You can use ``EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL``... macros with window IDs for when intercepting scroll events from controls, or ``EVT_SCROLL``... macros without window IDs for intercepting scroll events from the receiving window parameters.

- EVT_SCROLL: Process all scroll events.  
- EVT_SCROLL_TOP: Process  ``wxEVT_SCROLL_TOP``   scroll-to-top events (minimum position).   
- EVT_SCROLL_BOTTOM: Process  ``wxEVT_SCROLL_BOTTOM``   scroll-to-bottom events (maximum position).   
- EVT_SCROLL_LINEUP: Process  ``wxEVT_SCROLL_LINEUP``   line up events.   
- EVT_SCROLL_LINEDOWN: Process  ``wxEVT_SCROLL_LINEDOWN``   line down events.   
- EVT_SCROLL_PAGEUP: Process  ``wxEVT_SCROLL_PAGEUP``   page up events.   
- EVT_SCROLL_PAGEDOWN: Process  ``wxEVT_SCROLL_PAGEDOWN``   page down events.   
- EVT_SCROLL_THUMBTRACK: Process  ``wxEVT_SCROLL_THUMBTRACK``   thumbtrack events (frequent events sent as the user drags the thumbtrack).   
- EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE: Process  ``wxEVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE``   thumb release events.   
- EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED: Process  ``wxEVT_SCROLL_CHANGED``   end of scrolling events (MSW only).   
- EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL: Process all scroll events.  
- EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_TOP: Process  ``wxEVT_SCROLL_TOP``   scroll-to-top events (minimum position).   
- EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_BOTTOM: Process  ``wxEVT_SCROLL_BOTTOM``   scroll-to-bottom events (maximum position).   
- EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_LINEUP: Process  ``wxEVT_SCROLL_LINEUP``   line up events.   
- EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_LINEDOWN: Process  ``wxEVT_SCROLL_LINEDOWN``   line down events.   
- EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_PAGEUP: Process  ``wxEVT_SCROLL_PAGEUP``   page up events.   
- EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_PAGEDOWN: Process  ``wxEVT_SCROLL_PAGEDOWN``   page down events.   
- EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_THUMBTRACK: Process  ``wxEVT_SCROLL_THUMBTRACK``   thumbtrack events (frequent events sent as the user drags the thumbtrack).   
- EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE: Process  ``wxEVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE``   thumb release events.   
- EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_CHANGED: Process  ``wxEVT_SCROLL_CHANGED``   end of scrolling events (MSW only).   






.. note:: 

   Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar orientation with :meth:`wx.ScrollEvent.GetOrientation` , since horizontal and vertical scroll events are processed using the same event handler.
