Slider

A slider is a graphical element with which the user may set a value by moving an indicator on a slider, or simply by clicking the slider. The slider can operate in horizontal or vertical mode. The slider has two bitmaps. One bitmap is used on one side of the indicator. The other is used on the other side. They can be used in indicating the part of the slider value range that is currently selected.

The slider operates on an integer value range that can be set by the user.

Sets all the bitmaps for the Slider.

The Slider shows the sliderBackgroundSelected bitmap in the region of the Slider that is selected, that is the area to the left of the indicator for a horizontal Slider and below the indicator for a vertical Slider. The sliderBackground is shown on the other side of the Slider. To ignore this effect simply use the same bitmap for both the sliderBackground and the sliderBackgroundSelected.

The Slider shows the sliderBackgroundSelected bitmap in the region of the Slider that is selected, that is the area to the left of the indicator for a horizontal Slider and below the indicator for a vertical Slider. The sliderBackground is shown on the other side of the Slider. To ignore this effect simply use the same bitmap for both the sliderBackground and the sliderBackgroundSelected.

uint16_tindicatorMinX ,
uint16_tindicatorMaxX
)

Sets up the slider in horizontal mode with the range going from the left to right.

Places the backgrounds and the indicator inside the Slider container. It is possible to place the end points of the indicator outside the background image if it needs to go beyond the boundaries of the background. The width and height of the Slider will be adjusted appropriately so that both the background and the indicator will be fully visible in both the minimum and maximum indicator positions.

Calls setValue() with the current value (default 0) and triggers the newSliderValue callback.

Parameters:
backgroundXThe background x coordinate inside the slider.
backgroundYThe background y coordinate inside the slider.
indicatorYThe indicator y coordinate inside the slider.
indicatorMinXThe indicator minimum x coordinate inside the slider. This is the position used when the slider is at its minimum value. Must be less than indicatorMaxX.
indicatorMaxXThe indicator maximum x coordinate inside the slider. This is the position used when the slider is at its maximum value. Must be greater than indicatorMinX.
Note

The x and y position of the Slider will either be the left/top of the background or the left/top of the indicator in its minimum x coordinate.

setupVerticalSlider

virtual void setupVerticalSlider(uint16_tbackgroundX ,
uint16_tbackgroundY ,
uint16_tindicatorX ,
uint16_tindicatorMinY ,
uint16_tindicatorMaxY
)

Sets up the slider in vertical mode with the range going from the bottom to top.

Places the backgrounds and the indicator inside the Slider container. It is possible to place the end points of the indicator outside the background image if it needs to go beyond the boundaries of the background. The width and height of the Slider will be adjusted appropriately so that both the background and the indicator will be fully visible in both the minimum and maximum indicator positions.

Calls setValue with the current value (default 0) and triggers the newSliderValue callback.

Parameters:
backgroundXThe background x coordinate inside the slider.
backgroundYThe background y coordinate inside the slider.
indicatorXThe indicator x coordinate inside the slider.
indicatorMinYThe indicator minimum y coordinate inside the slider. This is the position used when the slider is at its maximum value. Must be less than indicatorMaxX.
indicatorMaxYThe indicator maximum y coordinate inside the slider. This is the position used when the slider is at its minimum value. Must be greater than indicatorMinX.
Note

The x and y position of the Slider will either be the left/top of the background or the left/top of the indicator in its minimum y coordinate.

setValue

virtual void setValue(intvalue)

Places the indicator at the specified value relative to the specified value range.

Values beyond the value range will be rounded to the min/max value in the value range.

Parameters:
valueThe value.
Note

The value update triggers a newSliderValue callback just as a drag or click does. If the value range is larger than the number of pixels specified for the indicator min and indicator max, some values will not be represented by the slider and thus is not possible to set with this method. In this case the value will be rounded to the nearest value that is represented in the current setting.

See also:

setValueRange

virtual void setValueRange(intminValue ,
intmaxValue
)

Sets the value range of the slider.

Values accepted and returned by the slider will be in this range.

The slider will set its value to the current value or round to minValue or maxValue if the current value is outside the new range.

Parameters:
minValueThe minimum value. Must be less than maxValue.
maxValueThe maximum value. Must be greater than minValue.
Note

If the range is larger than the number of pixels specified for the indicator min and indicator max, some values will not be represented by the slider.

setValueRange

virtual void setValueRange(intminValue ,
intmaxValue ,
intnewValue
)

Sets the value range of the slider.

Values accepted and returned by the slider will be in this range.

The slider will set its value to the specified new value.

Parameters:
minValueThe minimum value. Must be less than maxValue.
maxValueThe maximum value. Must be greater than minValue.
newValueThe new value.
Note

If the range is larger than the number of pixels specified for the indicator min and max some values will not be represented by the slider.
