# XmScrollBarSetValues(3)

A ScrollBar function that changes ScrollBar's increment values and the slider's size and position

## NAME

**XmScrollBarSetValues** — A ScrollBar function that changes ScrollBar's increment values and the slider's size and position

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <Xm/ScrollBar.h>
void XmScrollBarSetValues (widget, value, slider_size, increment, page_increment,
notify)
        Widget  widget;
        int     value;
        int     slider_size;
        int     increment;
        int     page_increment;
        Boolean notify;
(void)
```

## DESCRIPTION

**XmSetScrollBarValues** changes the ScrollBar's increment values and the slider's size and position. The scroll region is overlaid with a slider bar that is adjusted in size and position using the main ScrollBar or set slider function attributes.

- *widget*

  Specifies the ScrollBar widget ID.

- *value*

  Specifies the ScrollBar's slider position. Refer to the **XmNvalue** resource described on [**XmScrollBar**(3)](/XmScrollBar/3.md).

- *slider\_size*

  Specifies the size of the slider. Refer to the **XmNsliderSize** resource described on [**XmScrollBar**(3)](/XmScrollBar/3.md). This argument sets that resource. Specify a value of 0 (zero) if you do not want to change the value.

- *increment*

  Specifies the amount of button increment and decrement. Refer to the **XmNincrement** resource described on [**XmScrollBar**(3)](/XmScrollBar/3.md). This argument sets that resource. Specify a value of 0 (zero) if you do not want to change the value.

- *page\_increment*

  Specifies the amount of page increment and decrement. Refer to the **XmNpageIncrement** resource described on [**XmScrollBar**(3)](/XmScrollBar/3.md). This argument sets that resource. Specify a value of 0 (zero) if you do not want to change the value.

- *notify*

  Specifies a Boolean value that, when True, indicates a change in the ScrollBar value and also specifies that the ScrollBar widget automatically activates the **XmNvalueChangedCallback** with the recent change. If it is set to False, it specifies any change that has occurred in the ScrollBar's value, but does not activate **XmNvalueChangedCallback**.
