Help ID HELP-ID attribute value. You must use the help topic's .h file to map the numerical ID that you enter here to the corresponding help topic ID (created by a markup in the .hlp file).

State:  
Visible VISIBLE attribute value.
Enabled ENABLED attribute value.
Values:  
Minimum MIN attribute value (minimum numerical value on the scale).
Maximum MAX attribute value (maximum numerical value on the scale).
Line LINE attribute value (number of logical units by which the slider moves if the end user presses the up and down arrow buttons).
Page PAGE attribute value (number of logical units by which the slider moves if the end user clicks on the scroll-bar control's shaft).

Rectangle: The following four attributes decide the scroll-bar control's x and y axis position, its height and its width on the screen.

X - RECTANGLE-X attribute value.
Y - RECTANGLE-Y attribute value.
W - RECTANGLE-W attribute value.
H - RECTANGLE-H attribute value.

Horizontal / Vertical Mutually exclusive STYLE attribute values: slider will scroll horizontally or vertically.

Note:
When you edit the STYLE attribute value in the scroll-bar control attributes window, setting "h" instead of "v" and vice versa, the RECTANGLE-H and RECTANGLE-W attribute values are exchanged. The dialog editor thus ensures that the scroll-bar control will not provide for vertical scrolling in a horizontal shape and vice versa.
