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.

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