A VScrollBar is a vertical bar with arrows at either end and a scroll box. Typically, you use a VScrollBar control as a slider control for users to specify a value on a continuous scale, or as a way to display information graphically to the user.
Usage note
The VScrollBar control is not the vertical scroll bar that displays to allow the user to scroll through information in a control or window.
