Overview of Slider control

Window control

A slider control is used to select a value between two bounds. Its operating mode is similar to the operating mode of a scrollbar. The current value is identified by a cursor that the user moves with the mouse (or with the mouse wheel).

Visual marks can be displayed. The cursor does not snap to these marks: the cursor of the slider is moved unit by unit.

- expand "Slider" and select the type of slider to create:
- click "Slider".
Click where you want to create the control. The control appears in the editor.

Notes

Modifying the value of the slider at runtime with the mouse wheel

The user can modify the value of the slider with the mouse wheel: the cursor will move according to the step (the marks) defined for the slider.

Swap

WINDEV allows you to transform a standard Slider into a round Slider (and conversely):

Select the control to transform.
On the "Modification" pane, in the "Transformations" group, expand "Refactoring and swapping" and select "Slider/Round slider".

Examples

Several examples of sliders are supplied with WINDEV.

These sliders are accessible from the "Preset controls" pane.
