ScrollBar Component Reference

The ScrollBar allows the user to scroll by dragging a sliding block. It’s a bit similar to the Slider component, but it is mostly used as a part of the ScrollView while Slider is used independently to set values.

Detailed Explanation

The ScrollBar normally is used together with ScrollView instead of being used alone. Also, ScrollBar needs to assign a Sprite component, i.e. Handle in the Inspector panel.

Normally we will also designate a background image to ScrollBar. This can be used to indicate the length or width of the whole ScrollBar.
