Description
-----------

The SlideBar widget can be used as a replacement for a :doc:`scroll` container if scrolling is only needed in one direction. In contrast to the Scroll container the SlideBar uses :doc:`RepeatButtons <repeatbutton>` instead of scroll bars to do the scrolling. It is used e.g. in :doc:`tab views <tabview>`.
