WM_VSCROLL (Trackbar) notification code

The WM_VSCROLL message is sent to the owner of a vertical trackbar control when the slider changes position.

A window receives this message through its WindowProc function.

WM_HSCROLL

    WPARAM wParam
    LPARAM lParam; 

Parameters

wParam

The HIWORD specifies the current position of the slider if the LOWORD is TB_THUMBPOSITION or TB_THUMBTRACK. For all other notification codes, the high-order word is zero; send the TBM_GETPOS message to determine the slider position.

The LOWORD specifies a notification code that indicates the user's interaction with the trackbar. This word can be one of the following values.

Value Meaning
TB_BOTTOM
The user pressed the END key (VK_END).
TB_ENDTRACK
The trackbar received WM_KEYUP, meaning that the user released a key that sent a relevant virtual key code.
TB_LINEDOWN
The user pressed the RIGHT ARROW (VK_RIGHT) or DOWN ARROW (VK_DOWN) key.
TB_LINEUP
The user pressed the LEFT ARROW (VK_LEFT) or UP ARROW (VK_UP) key.
TB_PAGEDOWN
The user clicked the channel below or to the right of the slider (VK_NEXT).
TB_PAGEUP
The user clicked the channel above or to the left of the slider (VK_PRIOR).
TB_THUMBPOSITION
The trackbar received WM_LBUTTONUP following a TB_THUMBTRACK notification code.
TB_THUMBTRACK
The user dragged the slider.
TB_TOP
The user pressed the HOME key (VK_HOME).

lParam

The handle to the trackbar control.

Return value

If an application processes this message, it should return zero.

Remarks

The TB_THUMBTRACK code is typically used by applications that provide feedback as the user drags the scroll box.

Note that the WM_VSCROLL message carries only 16 bits of position data. Thus, applications that rely solely on WM_VSCROLL (and WM_HSCROLL) for slider position data have a practical maximum position value of 65,535.
