Perspective - Slider

Component Palette Icon:

Description

The Slider component lets the user drag an indicator along a scale to choose a value in a range. Enable the "show" and "interval" properties under "labels" to visually display the values within a range. The slider can be configured to orient horizontally or vertically with the "orientation" property.

Properties

Most Properties have binding options. For more information on Bindings, see Types of Bindings in Perspective. This section only documents the Props Category of properties. The other Categories are described on the Perspective Component Properties page.

value	Value represented by slider handle. Current value of the slider.	value: numeric
min	The minimum value for the slider scale: all the way left or down.	value: numeric

orientation	Specifies whether the slider track is aligned vertically or horizontally.	value: boolean
step	Intervals along track at which a value may be set. Specifies the size of increments between values of the slider. Note: This does not force the value into that step size. Setting the slider value manually or through a binding will cause it to show the actual value.	value: numeric

Component Scripts and Events

Further component interaction and functionality can be configured for all components through scripting and event actions. Right-click on the component or select Components from the Designer menubar to access the configuration popups for both of these options:

• Configure Events: Accesses the Event Configuration popup where you can configure actions to run in response to events to make the component dynamic. The Events Configurations page shows how to configure events and actions on a Perspective component.

• Configure Scripts: Accesses the Script Configuration popup where custom methods and message handlers can be added. The Scripting in Perspective section details scripting fundamentals, creating custom methods, and using message handlers.
