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