Scrolling functions control the scrolling of a window's contents and control the window's scroll bars. Scrolling is the movement of data in and out of the client area at the request of the user. It is a way for the user to see a document or graphic in parts if Windows cannot fit the entire document or graphic inside the client area. A scroll bar allows the user to control scrolling. The following list briefly describes each scrolling function:
