Implementing the UI Automation Scroll Control Pattern

This topic introduces guidelines and conventions for implementing IScrollProvider, including information about events and properties. Links to additional references are listed at the end of the topic.

The ScrollPattern control pattern is used to support a control that acts as a scrollable container for a collection of child objects. The control is not required to use scrollbars to support the scrolling functionality, although it commonly does.


Example of a Scrolling Control that Does Not Use Scrollbars

Scroll control without scrollbars.

For examples of controls that implement this control, see Control Pattern Mapping for UI Automation Clients.
