\section{\class{wxScrollEvent}}\label{wxscrollevent}

A scroll event holds information about events sent from stand-alone
scrollbars, spin-buttons and sliders. Note that starting from wxWindows 2.1,
scrolled windows send the \helpref{wxScrollWinEvent}{wxscrollwinevent} which
does not derive from wxCommandEvent, but from wxEvent directly - don't confuse
these two kinds of events and use the event table macros mentioned below only
for the scrollbar-like controls.

\wxheading{Event table macros}

To process a scroll event, use these event handler macros to direct input to
member functions that take a wxScrollEvent argument. You can use
{\tt EVT\_COMMAND\_SCROLL...} macros with window IDs for when intercepting
scroll events from controls, or {\tt EVT\_SCROLL...} macros without window IDs
for intercepting scroll events from the receiving window - except for this,
the macros behave exactly the same

\wxheading{Remarks}

Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
orientation with \helpref{wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation}{wxscrolleventgetorientation}, since
horizontal and vertical scroll events are processed using the same event handler.

Constructor.

\membersection{wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation}\label{wxscrolleventgetorientation}

\constfunc{int}{GetOrientation}{\void}

Returns wxHORIZONTAL or wxVERTICAL, depending on the orientation of the scrollbar.

\membersection{wxScrollEvent::GetPosition}\label{wxscrolleventgetposition}

\constfunc{int}{GetPosition}{\void}

Returns the position of the scrollbar.
