2
3A slider is a control with a handle which can be pulled
4back and forth to change the value.
5
6In Windows versions below Windows 95, a scrollbar is used to simulate the slider. In Windows 95,
7the track bar control is used.
8
9Slider events are handled in the same way as a scrollbar.

41To process input from a slider, use one of these event handler macros to direct input to member
42functions that take a \helpref{wxScrollEvent}{wxscrollevent} argument:
