\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{The difference between {\tt EVT\_SCROLL\_THUMBRELEASE} and {\tt EVT\_SCROLL\_CHANGED}}

The {\tt EVT\_SCROLL\_THUMBRELEASE} event is only emitted when actually dragging
the thumb using the mouse and releasing it (This {\tt EVT\_SCROLL\_THUMBRELEASE}
event is also followed by an {\tt EVT\_SCROLL\_CHANGED} event).

The {\tt 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 {\tt EVT\_SCROLL\_THUMBRELEASE} event does not happen).

In short, the {\tt 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 {\tt
EVT\_SCROLL\_THUMBRELEASE} and {\tt EVT\_SCROLL\_CHANGED} in action.
