 - `LV_EVENT_LONG_PRESSED_REPEAT`  Called after `long_press_time` in every `long_press_repeat_time` ms.  Not called if scrolled.
 - `LV_EVENT_CLICKED`      Called on release if the object not scrolled (regardless to long press)
 - `LV_EVENT_RELEASED`     Called in every cases when the object has been released
-- `LV_EVENT_SCROLL_BEGIN` Scrolling begins
+- `LV_EVENT_SCROLL_BEGIN` Scrolling begins. The event paramter is `NULL` or an `lv_anim_t *` with the scroll animation descriptor to modify if required. 
 - `LV_EVENT_SCROLL_END`   Scrolling ends
 - `LV_EVENT_SCROLL`       The object was scrolled
 - `LV_EVENT_GESTURE`      A gesture is detected. Get the gesture with `lv_indev_get_gesture_dir(lv_indev_get_act());`
