The Show Scroll Bar option specifies whether Oracle Forms should create a block scroll bar for the block you are defining. When Show Scroll Bar is set to Yes, Oracle Forms creates the scroll bar on the canvas specified by the Scroll Bar Canvas property.
When you create a block scroll bar, you can set the properties of the scroll bar object itself, including Scroll Bar Canvas, Scroll Bar Orientation, Scroll Bar X Position, Scroll Bar Y Position, Scroll Bar Width, Scroll Bar Height, Reverse Direction, and Visual Attribute Group.

Setting Reverse Direction to Yes causes Oracle Forms to fetch the next set of records when the end user scrolls upward. If the end user scrolls downward, Oracle Forms displays already fetched records.
