Slider Format Properties

Controls > Advanced Controls > Slider > Slider Format Properties

Border

Gets or sets whether the slider has a border.

• JScript

var bMode = Slider.Border();
Slider.Border(bMode);

• VBScript

bMode = Slider.Border
Slider.Border = bMode

• Python

bMode = Slider.Border
Slider.Border = bMode

Element	Description
bMode	true—indicates that a border is visible. false—indicates that it is not.

Invert

Gets or sets a value that allows to reverse the minimum and maximum values of the slider control. This feature is useful when you need to change the direction of the slider's value progression.

• JScript

var bMode= Slider.Invert 
Slider.Invert(bMode);

• VBScript

bMode = Slider.Invert 
Slider.Invert = bMode

• Python

bMode = Slider.Invert
Slider.Invert = bMode

Element	Description
bMode	true—Indicates that the minimum and maximum values are reversed. false—Indicates that the minimum and maximum values are not reversed.

Orientation

Gets or sets the orientation, horizontal or vertical, of the Slider control. This property can also be accessed via the Properties tab.

• JScript

var bMode = Slider.Orientation();
Slider.Orientation(bMode);

• VBScript

bMode = Slider.Orientation
Slider.Orientation = bMode

• Python

bMode = Slider.Orientation
Slider.Orientation = bMode

Element	Description
bMode	0 = horizontal slider, 1 = vertical slider.

Point

Gets or sets a value that indicates the style of the pointer.

The Point property must be set together with the Ticks property. If you are setting the you Point property directly in the Script Editor, ensure that you also enable the ticks by setting them to true. Alternatively, if you are configuring the Point property from the Properties tab, make sure to check the Ticks checkbox there.

• JScript

var intStyle = Slider.Point(); 
Slider.Point(intStyle);

• VBScript

intStyle = Slider.Point 
Slider.Point = intStyle

• Python

intStyle = Slider.Point 
Slider.Point = intStyle

Element	Description
intStyle	0 gives a rectangular pointer across the center of the slider. 1 gives a pointer toward the top in a horizontal slider, or left for a vertical slider. 2 gives a pointer toward the bottom or right, respectively.

TickFrequency and Ticks

Gets or sets the spacing of the ticks on the Slider. For even tick spacing, the result of (MaxRange - MinRange)/TickFrequency must be a whole number. The Ticks property sets or gets whether the slider displays tick marks.

• JScript

var longFreq = Slider.TickFrequency();
Slider.TickFrequency(longFreq);

var bMode = Slider.Ticks();
Slider.Ticks(bMode);

• VBScript

longFreq = Slider.TickFrequency
Slider.TickFrequency = longFreq

bMode = Slider.Ticks
Slider.Ticks = bMode

• Python

longFreq = Slider.TickFrequency
Slider.TickFrequency = longFreq

bMode = Slider.Ticks
Slider.Ticks = bMode

Element	Description
bMode	true—Indicates that a tick appears at the interval specified by the TickFrequency property. false—Indicates that no ticks are displayed.
longFreq	An integer value that determines the spacing of the ticks.

ShowMinMax

Gets or sets a value that determines whether the slider control will display the defined minimum and maximum values.

• JScript

var bMode = Slider.ShowMinMax 
Slider.ShowMinMax(bMode);

• VBScript

bMode = Slider.ShowMinMax
Slider.ShowMinMax = bMode

• Python

bMode = Slider.ShowMinMax
Slider.ShowMinMax = bMode

Element	Description
bMode	true – Indicates that the minimum and maximum values are displayed. false – Indicates that the minimum and maximum values of the slider are not displayed.

For Python, use True and False, with a capital letter.
