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.
