/**
    @class wxSlider

    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. Windows only.
    @style{wxSL_MIN_MAX_LABELS}
           Displays minimum, maximum labels (new since wxWidgets 2.9.1).
    @style{wxSL_VALUE_LABEL}
           Displays value label (new since wxWidgets 2.9.1).
    @style{wxSL_LABELS}
           Displays minimum, maximum and value labels (same as wxSL_VALUE_LABEL
           and wxSL_MIN_MAX_LABELS together).
    @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 minimum and maximum endpoints on the slider. Not
           compatible with wxSL_SELRANGE.
    @endStyleTable

    Notice that @c wxSL_LEFT, @c wxSL_TOP, @c wxSL_RIGHT and @c wxSL_BOTTOM
    specify the position of the slider ticks in MSW implementation and that the
    slider labels, if any, are positioned on the opposite side. So, to have a
    label on the left side of a vertical slider, @b wxSL_RIGHT must be used (or
    none of these styles at all should be specified as left and top are default
    positions for the vertical and horizontal sliders respectively).

    @beginEventEmissionTable{wxScrollEvent}
    You can use EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL... macros with window IDs for when intercepting
    scroll events from controls, or EVT_SCROLL... macros without window IDs for
    intercepting scroll events from the receiving window -- except for this,
    the macros behave exactly the same.
    @event{EVT_SCROLL(func)}
        Process all scroll events.
    @event{EVT_SCROLL_TOP(func)}
        Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_TOP scroll-to-top events (minimum position).
    @event{EVT_SCROLL_BOTTOM(func)}
        Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_BOTTOM scroll-to-bottom events (maximum position).
    @event{EVT_SCROLL_LINEUP(func)}
        Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_LINEUP line up events.
    @event{EVT_SCROLL_LINEDOWN(func)}
        Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_LINEDOWN line down events.
    @event{EVT_SCROLL_PAGEUP(func)}
        Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_PAGEUP page up events.
    @event{EVT_SCROLL_PAGEDOWN(func)}
        Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_PAGEDOWN page down events.
    @event{EVT_SCROLL_THUMBTRACK(func)}
        Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_THUMBTRACK thumbtrack events
        (frequent events sent as the user drags the thumbtrack).
    @event{EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE(func)}
        Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE thumb release events.
    @event{EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED(func)}
        Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_CHANGED end of scrolling events (MSW only).
    @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL(id, func)}
        Process all scroll events.
    @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_TOP(id, func)}
        Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_TOP scroll-to-top events (minimum position).
    @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_BOTTOM(id, func)}
        Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_BOTTOM scroll-to-bottom events (maximum position).
    @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_LINEUP(id, func)}
        Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_LINEUP line up events.
    @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_LINEDOWN(id, func)}
        Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_LINEDOWN line down events.
    @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_PAGEUP(id, func)}
        Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_PAGEUP page up events.
    @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_PAGEDOWN(id, func)}
        Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_PAGEDOWN page down events.
    @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_THUMBTRACK(id, func)}
        Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_THUMBTRACK thumbtrack events
        (frequent events sent as the user drags the thumbtrack).
    @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE(func)}
        Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE thumb release events.
    @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_CHANGED(func)}
        Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_CHANGED end of scrolling events (MSW only).
    @event{EVT_SLIDER(id, func)}
        Process @c wxEVT_SLIDER which is generated after any
        change of wxSlider position in addition to one of the events above.
    @endEventTable

    @section slider_diff The difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED

    The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the
    thumb using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event
    is also followed by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).

    The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change
    the thumb position, and when clicking next to the thumb
    (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event does not happen).
    In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving
    has finished independently of the way it had started.
    Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page) to see the difference between
    EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
