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.

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_t	indicatorY ,
		uint16_t	indicatorMinX ,
		uint16_t	indicatorMaxX
		)

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:

backgroundX	The background x coordinate inside the slider.
backgroundY	The background y coordinate inside the slider.
indicatorY	The indicator y coordinate inside the slider.
indicatorMinX	The 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.
indicatorMaxX	The 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_t	backgroundX ,
		uint16_t	backgroundY ,
		uint16_t	indicatorX ,
		uint16_t	indicatorMinY ,
		uint16_t	indicatorMaxY
		)

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:

backgroundX	The background x coordinate inside the slider.
backgroundY	The background y coordinate inside the slider.
indicatorX	The indicator x coordinate inside the slider.
indicatorMinY	The 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.
indicatorMaxY	The 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	(	int	value	)

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:

value	The 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

setValueRange

virtual void setValueRange	(	int	minValue ,
		int	maxValue
		)

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:

minValue	The minimum value. Must be less than maxValue.
maxValue	The 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	(	int	minValue ,
		int	maxValue ,
		int	newValue
		)

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:

minValue	The minimum value. Must be less than maxValue.
maxValue	The maximum value. Must be greater than minValue.
newValue	The 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.
