# SCROLLBAR

## Overview

The `SCROLLBAR` class implements `ISMScrollbar` and `IPrefixedConstantsObject` to provide constants related to scrollbars in a solution model. It includes a `getPrefix` method that returns the prefix `"SM_SCROLLBAR"` for identifying related constants and overrides the `toString` method to provide a descriptive name.
