# CT XSLIDER

### Introduction

- *Sliders* and *Scrollbars* are synonymous.
- While there are horizontal and vertical versions of [CT_SLIDER](../topics/CT_SLIDER.md) (see [Arma: GUI Configuration - CT_SLIDER Specific Styles](../topics/Arma~3A_GUI_Configuration.md#ct-slider-specific-styles)), [CT_XSLIDER](../topics/CT_XSLIDER.md) can only be horizontal.
- Embedded child scrollbars are created by the engine as and when required for various control types (e.g. [CT_CONTROLS_GROUP](../topics/CT_CONTROLS_GROUP.md) or [CT_LISTBOX](../topics/CT_LISTBOX.md)). The engine generates its own IDC for them. In most cases it is possible to configure (auto-generated) scrollbars via `Scrollbar` classes.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> It makes no sense to create an independent scrollbar without an IDC.

### Default Classes

> [!NOTE]
> **Arma 3:** **AddOns:** Classes need to be initialised first with `class SomeClass;`
>
> ---
>
> **Missions:** Since Arma 3 v2.02 one can use `import SomeClass;` to initialise a class (see the [import](../topics/import_~28Config~29.md) keyword).
>
> In older versions, use `"Default" call BIS_fnc_exportGUIBaseClasses;` and paste the result into the [description.ext](../topics/Description.ext.md).
