  10     @class wxSlider
  11
  12     A slider is a control with a handle which can be pulled back and forth to
  13     change the value.
  14
  15     On Windows, the track bar control is used.
  16
  17     Slider events are handled in the same way as a scrollbar.
  18
  19     @beginStyleTable
  20     @style{wxSL_HORIZONTAL}
  21            Displays the slider horizontally (this is the default).
  22     @style{wxSL_VERTICAL}
  23            Displays the slider vertically.
  24     @style{wxSL_AUTOTICKS}
  25            Displays tick marks.
  26     @style{wxSL_LABELS}
  27            Displays minimum, maximum and value labels.
  28     @style{wxSL_LEFT}
  29            Displays ticks on the left and forces the slider to be vertical.
  30     @style{wxSL_RIGHT}
  31            Displays ticks on the right and forces the slider to be vertical.
  32     @style{wxSL_TOP}
  33            Displays ticks on the top.
  34     @style{wxSL_BOTTOM}
  35            Displays ticks on the bottom (this is the default).
  36     @style{wxSL_SELRANGE}
  37            Allows the user to select a range on the slider. Windows only.
  38     @style{wxSL_INVERSE}
  39            Inverses the mininum and maximum endpoints on the slider. Not
  40            compatible with wxSL_SELRANGE.
  41     @endStyleTable
  42
  43     @beginEventTable{wxScrollEvent}
  44     You can use EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL... macros with window IDs for when intercepting
  45     scroll events from controls, or EVT_SCROLL... macros without window IDs for
  46     intercepting scroll events from the receiving window -- except for this,
  47     the macros behave exactly the same.
  48     @event{EVT_SCROLL(func)}
  49         Process all scroll events.
  50     @event{EVT_SCROLL_TOP(func)}

  59         Process wxEVT_SCROLL_PAGEUP page up events.
  60     @event{EVT_SCROLL_PAGEDOWN(func)}
  61         Process wxEVT_SCROLL_PAGEDOWN page down events.
  62     @event{EVT_SCROLL_THUMBTRACK(func)}
  63         Process wxEVT_SCROLL_THUMBTRACK thumbtrack events
  64         (frequent events sent as the user drags the thumbtrack).
  65     @event{EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE(func)}
  66         Process wxEVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE thumb release events.
  67     @event{EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED(func)}

  83     @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_THUMBTRACK(id, func)}
  84         Process wxEVT_SCROLL_THUMBTRACK thumbtrack events
  85         (frequent events sent as the user drags the thumbtrack).

  87         Process wxEVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE thumb release events.
  88     @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_CHANGED(func)}

  91
  92     @section slider_diff The difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED
  93
  94     The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the
  95     thumb using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event
  96     is also followed by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
  97
  98     The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change
  99     the thumb position, and when clicking next to the thumb
 100     (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event does not happen).
 101     In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving
 102     has finished independently of the way it had started.
 103     Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page) to see the difference between
 104     EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
