The scrollbar doesn't have a value in itself, when placed in a text
document. You could assing a macro to it's scroll event, and then do
there whatever you want.

However, if it's only about scrolling a text field: Just open the
property browser for the text field, and change the "Scrollbars"
property to e.g. "Vertical", to use the built-in scrollbars.
