SBM_GETSCROLLINFO (Compact 2013)
3/28/2014
This message is sent by an application to retrieve the parameters of a scroll bar.
Syntax
SBM_GETSCROLLINFO wParam = 0;
lParam = (LPARAM) (LPSCROLLINFO) lpsi;
Parameters
lpsi
Long pointer to a SCROLLINFO structure. Before sending the message, set the cbSize member of the structure to sizeof(SCROLLINFO), and set the fMask member to specify the scroll bar parameters to retrieve. Before returning, the message copies the specified parameters to the appropriate members of the structure.The fMask member can be a combination of the following values
Value
Description
SIF_ALL
Combines SIF_PAGE, SIF_POS, SIF_RANGE, and SIF_TRACKPOS.
SIF_PAGE
Copies the scroll page to the nPage member of the SCROLLINFO structure pointed to by lpsi.
SIF_POS
Copies the scroll position to the nPos member of the SCROLLINFO structure pointed to by lpsi.
SIF_RANGE
Copies the scroll range to the nMin and nMax members of the SCROLLINFO structure pointed to by lpsi.
SIF_TRACKPOS
Copies the current scroll box tracking position to the nTrackPos member of the SCROLLINFO structure pointed to by lpsi.
Return Value
TRUE indicates that the message retrieved at least one value. FALSE indicates otherwise.
Remarks
The messages that indicate scroll-bar position, WM_HSCROLL and WM_VSCROLL, provide only 16 bits of position data. However, the SCROLLINFO structure used by SBM_GETSCROLLINFO, SBM_SETSCROLLINFO, GetScrollInfo, and SetScrollInfo provides 32 bits of scroll-bar position data. You can use these messages and functions while processing either the WM_HSCROLL or WM_VSCROLL messages to obtain 32-bit scroll-bar position data.
To get the 32-bit position of the scroll box (thumb) during a SB_THUMBTRACK message in a WM_HSCROLL or WM_VSCROLL message, send SBM_GETSCROLLINFO with the SIF_TRACKPOS value in the fMask member of the SCROLLINFO structure. The message returns the tracking position of the scroll box in the nTrackPos member of the SCROLLINFO structure. This allows you to get the position of the scroll box as the user moves it. Alternatively, you can use the GetScrollInfo function to get the same information.
