    onSideScroll = function(selected, scrollIndex, args)
        print("Scroll: ", selected, scrollIndex, args)
    end,
    onSelected = function(selected, secondary, args)
        if not secondary then
            print("Normal button")
        else
            if args.isCheck then
                print("Check button")
            end
 
            if args.isScroll then
                print("Scroll button")
