phoenix_title wx.ScrollEvent

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

Note that scrolled windows send the wx.ScrollWinEvent which does not derive from wx.CommandEvent, but from 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. ^^

events Events Emitted by this Class

Handlers bound for the following event types will receive one of the wx.ScrollEvent 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 – except for this, the macros behave exactly the same. 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 wx.ScrollEvent.GetOrientation , since horizontal and vertical scroll events are processed using the same event handler.
