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