public class ScrollBar extends Control
Either a horizontal or vertical bar with increment and decrement buttons and a "thumb" with which the user can interact. Typically not used alone but used for building up more complicated controls such as the ScrollPane and ListView.

ScrollBar sets focusTraversable to false.

This example creates a vertical ScrollBar: 

 ScrollBar s1 = new ScrollBar();
 s1.setOrientation(Orientation.VERTICAL);

    • adjustValue

      public void adjustValue(double position)
      Adjusts the value property by blockIncrement. The position is the fractional amount between the min and max. For example, it might be 50%. If #minProperty min were 0 and #maxProperty max were 100 and value were 25, then a position of .5 would indicate that we should increment value by blockIncrement. If value were 75, then a position of .5 would indicate that we should decrement value by blockIncrement. Note: This function is intended to be used by experts, primarily by those implementing new Skins or Behaviors. It is not common for developers or designers to access this function directly.
      Parameters:
      position - the position

    • increment

      public void increment()
      Increments the value of the ScrollBar by the unitIncrement

    • decrement

      public void decrement()
      Decrements the value of the ScrollBar by the unitIncrement

    • getClassCssMetaData

      public static List<CssMetaData<? extends Styleable,?>> getClassCssMetaData()
      Returns:
      The CssMetaData associated with this class, which may include the CssMetaData of its superclasses.
      Since:
      JavaFX 8.0

    • getControlCssMetaData

      public List<CssMetaData<? extends Styleable,?>> getControlCssMetaData()
      Overrides:
      getControlCssMetaData in class Control
      Returns:
      unmodifiable list of the controls css styleable properties
      Since:
      JavaFX 8.0

    • getInitialFocusTraversable

      protected Boolean getInitialFocusTraversable()
      Returns the initial focus traversable state of this control, for use by the JavaFX CSS engine to correctly set its initial value. This method is overridden as by default UI controls have focus traversable set to true, but that is not appropriate for this control.
      Overrides:
      getInitialFocusTraversable in class Control
      Returns:
      the initial focus traversable state of this control
