    @class wxSlider
    @wxheader{slider.h}

    A slider is a control with a handle which can be pulled
    back and forth to change the value.

    On Windows, the track bar control is used.

    Slider events are handled in the same way as a scrollbar.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxSL_HORIZONTAL}
           Displays the slider horizontally (this is the default).
    @style{wxSL_VERTICAL}
           Displays the slider vertically.
    @style{wxSL_AUTOTICKS}
           Displays tick marks.
    @style{wxSL_LABELS}
           Displays minimum, maximum and value labels.
    @style{wxSL_LEFT}
           Displays ticks on the left and forces the slider to be vertical.
    @style{wxSL_RIGHT}
           Displays ticks on the right and forces the slider to be vertical.
    @style{wxSL_TOP}
           Displays ticks on the top.
    @style{wxSL_BOTTOM}
           Displays ticks on the bottom (this is the default).
    @style{wxSL_SELRANGE}
           Allows the user to select a range on the slider. Windows only.
    @style{wxSL_INVERSE}
           Inverses the mininum and maximum endpoints on the slider. Not
           compatible with wxSL_SELRANGE.
