enum { kControlScrollBarProc = 384, kControlScrollBarLiveProc = 386 };
Resource ID: 24
Appearance-compliant scroll bar. This control definition is new with the Appearance Manager and is not supported unless the Appearance Manager is available.
Resource ID: 24
Appearance-compliant scroll bar with live feedback. This control definition is new with the Appearance Manager and is not supported unless the Appearance Manager is available.
When creating a control, your application supplies a control definition ID to one of the Control Manager control-creation functions or to the control resource; see 'CNTL'. The control definition ID indicates the type of control to create. A control definition ID is an integer that contains the resource ID of a control definition function in its upper 12 bits and a variation code in its lower 4 bits. A control definition ID is derived as follows:
control definition ID = 16 * ('CDEF' resource ID) + variation code
A control definition function determines how a control generally looks and behaves. Control definition functions are stored as resources of type 'CDEF'. Various Control Manager functions call a control definition function whenever they need to perform some control-dependent action, such as drawing the control on the screen. For more information on how to create a control definition function, see
A control definition function, in turn, can use a variation code to describe variations of the same basic control. For example, all pop-up arrows share the same basic control definition function, which is stored in a resource of type 'CDEF' and has a resource ID of 12. The standard pop-up arrow is large and points to the right; it has a control definition ID of 192. A variation of this is a large, left-pointing arrow, which has a control definition ID of 193. Still another variation, in which the arrow points up, has a control definition ID of 194.
Your application can use the constants listed here in place of control definition IDs.
