JavaFX: Handling scrollbar events

By adding change listner to scroll bar, you can catch the events of scroll bar.

Ex
scrollBar.valueProperty().addListener((ObservableValue extends Number> ov, Number old_val, Number new_val) -> {
         label.setText("Scrollbar value changed from " + old_val + " to " + new_val);
});

Find the below working application.

ScrollBarApp.java
package com.sample.demos;

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener;
import javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue;
import javafx.geometry.Orientation;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.control.ScrollBar;
import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class ScrollBarApp extends Application {

@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws FileNotFoundException, MalformedURLException {

ScrollBar scrollBar = new ScrollBar();
scrollBar.setMin(0);
scrollBar.setOrientation(Orientation.VERTICAL);
scrollBar.setPrefHeight(180);
scrollBar.setMax(360);
scrollBar.setUnitIncrement(30);
scrollBar.setBlockIncrement(35);

Label label = new Label();
label.setTextFill(Color.RED);

HBox hBox = new HBox(30, scrollBar, label);

Group root = new Group();
root.getChildren().addAll(hBox);

Scene scene = new Scene(root, 500, 300);

scrollBar.valueProperty().addListener((ObservableValue extends Number> ov, Number old_val, Number new_val) -> {
label.setText("Scrollbar value changed from " + old_val + " to " + new_val);
});

/* Set the scene to primaryStage, and call the show method */
primaryStage.setTitle("JavaFX scroll bar app Example");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}

}

TestFX.java
package com.sample.demos;

import javafx.application.Application;

public class TestFX {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Application.launch(ScrollBarApp.class, args);
}
}
