      mainFrame.setVisible(true);  
   }

   private void showScrollbarDemo(){                                       
      headerLabel.setText("Control in action: Scrollbar"); 

      final Scrollbar horizontalScroller = new Scrollbar(Scrollbar.HORIZONTAL);

      horizontalScroller.setMinimum (1);
      verticalScroller.setMaximum (100);
      verticalScroller.setMinimum (1);

      horizontalScroller.addAdjustmentListener(new AdjustmentListener() {

         @Override
         public void adjustmentValueChanged(AdjustmentEvent e) {
            statusLabel.setText("Horozontal: "
               +horizontalScroller.getValue() 
               +" ,Vertical: "
               + verticalScroller.getValue());
            }
         });

      verticalScroller.addAdjustmentListener(new AdjustmentListener() {

            @Override
            public void adjustmentValueChanged(AdjustmentEvent e) {
               statusLabel.setText("Horozontal: "
               +horizontalScroller.getValue() 
               +" ,Vertical: "+ verticalScroller.getValue());
            }

      controlPanel.add(horizontalScroller);
      controlPanel.add(verticalScroller);

      mainFrame.setVisible(true);  
   }
}
