<description><p>A scroll event holds information about events sent from stand-alone scrollbars (see <seeerl marker="wxScrollBar"><c>wxScrollBar</c></seeerl>) and sliders (see <seeerl marker="wxSlider"><c>wxSlider</c></seeerl>).
      </p><p>Note that scrolled windows send the <seeerl marker="wxScrollWinEvent"><c>wxScrollWinEvent</c></seeerl> which does not derive from <seeerl marker="wxCommandEvent"><c>wxCommandEvent</c></seeerl>, but from <seeerl marker="wxEvent"><c>wxEvent</c></seeerl> directly - don't confuse these two kinds of events and use the event table macros mentioned below only for the scrollbar-like controls.
      </p><p>The difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED</p> <p>The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is also followed by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
      </p> <p>The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event does not happen).
      </p> <p>In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished independently of the way it had started. Please see the page_samples_widgets ("Slider" page) to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
      </p> <p>Remark: Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar orientation with <seemfa marker="#getOrientation/1"><c>getOrientation/1</c></seemfa>, since horizontal and vertical scroll events are processed using the same event handler.
      </p><p>See: <seeerl marker="wxScrollBar"><c>wxScrollBar</c></seeerl>, <seeerl marker="wxSlider"><c>wxSlider</c></seeerl>, <seeerl marker="wxSpinButton"><c>wxSpinButton</c></seeerl>, <seeerl marker="wxScrollWinEvent"><c>wxScrollWinEvent</c></seeerl>, <url href="https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.1/overview_events.html#overview_events">Overview events</url>
