27 @class wxSlider
28
29 A slider is a control with a handle which can be pulled back and forth to
30 change the value.
31
32 On Windows, the track bar control is used.
33
34 Slider events are handled in the same way as a scrollbar.
35
36 @beginStyleTable
37 @style{wxSL_HORIZONTAL}
38 Displays the slider horizontally (this is the default).
39 @style{wxSL_VERTICAL}
40 Displays the slider vertically.
41 @style{wxSL_AUTOTICKS}
42 Displays tick marks. Windows only.
43 @style{wxSL_MIN_MAX_LABELS}
44 Displays minimum, maximum labels (new since wxWidgets 2.9.1).
45 @style{wxSL_VALUE_LABEL}
46 Displays value label (new since wxWidgets 2.9.1).
47 @style{wxSL_LABELS}
48 Displays minimum, maximum and value labels (same as wxSL_VALUE_LABEL
49 and wxSL_MIN_MAX_LABELS together).
50 @style{wxSL_LEFT}
51 Displays ticks on the left and forces the slider to be vertical.
52 @style{wxSL_RIGHT}
53 Displays ticks on the right and forces the slider to be vertical.
54 @style{wxSL_TOP}
55 Displays ticks on the top.
56 @style{wxSL_BOTTOM}
57 Displays ticks on the bottom (this is the default).
58 @style{wxSL_SELRANGE}
59 Allows the user to select a range on the slider. Windows only.
60 @style{wxSL_INVERSE}
61 Inverses the minimum and maximum endpoints on the slider. Not
62 compatible with wxSL_SELRANGE.
63 @endStyleTable
64
65 Notice that @c wxSL_LEFT, @c wxSL_TOP, @c wxSL_RIGHT and @c wxSL_BOTTOM
66 specify the position of the slider ticks in MSW implementation and that the
67 slider labels, if any, are positioned on the opposite side. So, to have a
68 label on the left side of a vertical slider, @b wxSL_RIGHT must be used (or
69 none of these styles at all should be specified as left and top are default
70 positions for the vertical and horizontal sliders respectively).
71
72 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxScrollEvent}
73 You can use EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL... macros with window IDs for when intercepting
74 scroll events from controls, or EVT_SCROLL... macros without window IDs for
75 intercepting scroll events from the receiving window -- except for this,
76 the macros behave exactly the same.
77 @event{EVT_SCROLL(func)}
78 Process all scroll events.
79 @event{EVT_SCROLL_TOP(func)}
80 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_TOP scroll-to-top events (minimum position).
81 @event{EVT_SCROLL_BOTTOM(func)}
82 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_BOTTOM scroll-to-bottom events (maximum position).
83 @event{EVT_SCROLL_LINEUP(func)}
84 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_LINEUP line up events.
85 @event{EVT_SCROLL_LINEDOWN(func)}
86 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_LINEDOWN line down events.
87 @event{EVT_SCROLL_PAGEUP(func)}
88 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_PAGEUP page up events.
89 @event{EVT_SCROLL_PAGEDOWN(func)}
90 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_PAGEDOWN page down events.
91 @event{EVT_SCROLL_THUMBTRACK(func)}
92 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_THUMBTRACK thumbtrack events
93 (frequent events sent as the user drags the thumbtrack).
94 @event{EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE(func)}
95 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE thumb release events.
96 @event{EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED(func)}
97 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_CHANGED end of scrolling events (MSW only).
98 @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL(id, func)}
99 Process all scroll events.
100 @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_TOP(id, func)}
101 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_TOP scroll-to-top events (minimum position).
102 @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_BOTTOM(id, func)}
103 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_BOTTOM scroll-to-bottom events (maximum position).
104 @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_LINEUP(id, func)}
105 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_LINEUP line up events.
106 @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_LINEDOWN(id, func)}
107 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_LINEDOWN line down events.
108 @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_PAGEUP(id, func)}
109 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_PAGEUP page up events.
110 @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_PAGEDOWN(id, func)}
111 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_PAGEDOWN page down events.
112 @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_THUMBTRACK(id, func)}
113 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_THUMBTRACK thumbtrack events
114 (frequent events sent as the user drags the thumbtrack).
115 @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE(func)}
116 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE thumb release events.
117 @event{EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_CHANGED(func)}
118 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLL_CHANGED end of scrolling events (MSW only).
119 @event{EVT_SLIDER(id, func)}
120 Process @c wxEVT_SLIDER which is generated after any
121 change of wxSlider position in addition to one of the events above.
122 @endEventTable
123
124 @section slider_diff The difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED
125
126 The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the
127 thumb using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event
128 is also followed by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
129
130 The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change
131 the thumb position, and when clicking next to the thumb
132 (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event does not happen).
133 In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving
134 has finished independently of the way it had started.
135 Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page) to see the difference between
136 EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
