    @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.

    @remarks
    A scrollbar has the following main attributes: range, thumb size, page size, and position.
    The range is the total number of units associated with the view represented by the scrollbar.
    For a table with 15 columns, the range would be 15.
    The thumb size is the number of units that are currently visible.
    For the table example, the window might be sized so that only 5 columns are
    currently visible, in which case the application would set the thumb size to 5.
    When the thumb size becomes the same as or greater than the range, the scrollbar
    will be automatically hidden on most platforms.
    The page size is the number of units that the scrollbar should scroll by,
    when 'paging' through the data. This value is normally the same as the thumb
    size length, because it is natural to assume that the visible window size defines a page.
    The scrollbar position is the current thumb position.
    Most applications will find it convenient to provide a function called AdjustScrollbars()
    which can be called initially, from an OnSize event handler, and whenever the
    application data changes in size. It will adjust the view, object and page
    size according to the size of the window and the size of the data.

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

    @beginEventEmissionTable{wxScrollEvent}
    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.

    @section scrollbar_diff 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.

            Often it is the same as the thumb size.
        @param refresh
            @true to redraw the scrollbar, @false otherwise.

        @remarks
            Let's say you wish to display 50 lines of text, using the same
            font. The window is sized so that you can only see 16 lines at a time.
            You would use:
            @code
            scrollbar->SetScrollbar(0, 16, 50, 15);
            @endcode
            The page size is 1 less than the thumb size so that the last line of
            the previous page will be visible on the next page, to help orient the user.
            Note that with the window at this size, the thumb position can never
            go above 50 minus 16, or 34.
            You can determine how many lines are currently visible by dividing
            the current view size by the character height in pixels.
            When defining your own scrollbar behaviour, you will always need to
            recalculate the scrollbar settings when the window size changes.
            You could therefore put your scrollbar calculations and SetScrollbar()
            call into a function named AdjustScrollbars, which can be called
            initially and also from a wxSizeEvent event handler function.
