Slider control overview

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. You can create:
  • standard sliders

  • WINDEV round sliders

Characteristics of the Slider control

  • The slider cursor is necessarily an image.
  • You can use a native slider ("Native slider" option in the "Details" tab of the control description window). In this case:
    • the slider will automatically adapt to the system style. The graphic options defined for the Slider control (mark, cursor image, ...) will be ignored. The properties used to manage images associated with the control will be ignored.
    • the slider cannot be oriented vertically. Only horizontal sliders are supported.
