    @class wxScrollBar

    A wxScrollBar is a control that represents a horizontal or
    vertical scrollbar. It is distinct from the two scrollbars that some windows
    provide automatically, but the two types of scrollbar share the way
    events are received.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxSB_HORIZONTAL}
           Specifies a horizontal scrollbar.
    @style{wxSB_VERTICAL}
           Specifies a vertical scrollbar.
    @endStyleTable
