Create Scrollbar Using JavaFX

A scroll bar contains a thumb, right and left buttons attached to a scrollable pane. Using this you can scroll the pane (attached to it) up and down.

In JavaFX the javafx.scene.control.ScrollBar represents a scrollbar. You can create a scroll bar instantiating this class.

You can create either a vertical or a horizontal scroll bar, by default a horizontal scroll bar is created, you can change it to vertical using the setOrientation() method.

Usually, a scroll bar is associated with other controls such as ScrollPane, ListView, etc.

Example

import javafx.application.Application; import javafx.scene.Group; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.scene.control.Label; import javafx.scene.control.ScrollBar; import javafx.scene.paint.Color; import javafx.scene.text.Font; import javafx.scene.text.FontPosture; import javafx.scene.text.FontWeight; import javafx.stage.Stage; public class ScrollBarExample extends Application {    public void start(Stage stage) {       //Label for education       Label label = new Label("Educational qualification:");       Font font = Font.font("verdana", FontWeight.BOLD, FontPosture.REGULAR, 12);       label.setFont(font);       //list View for educational qualification       ScrollBar scroll = new ScrollBar();       scroll.setMin(0);       scroll.setMax(400);       scroll.setValue(50);       //Setting the position of the scroll pane       scroll.setLayoutX(180);       scroll.setLayoutY(75);       //Setting the stage       Group root = new Group(scroll);       Scene scene = new Scene(root, 595, 200, Color.BEIGE);       stage.setTitle("List View Example");       stage.setScene(scene);       stage.show();    }    public static void main(String args[]){       launch(args);    } }
