Slider Property Page

Use the Slider property page to define the properties for the slider control, including the minimum and maximum values for the control, the size and orientation of the control, and how the slider value is displayed.

The following options are available.

Slider Properties

Orientation: Specifies whether the slider control appears on the data entry form in a vertical or horizontal position.
Width: Specifies the length of the slider control when Orientation is set to Horizontal.
Height: Specifies the length of the slider control when Orientation is set to Vertical.
Reading Order: Specifies the reading order for the slider control. To use the reading order that is configured on the Form property page, select Auto. If you select a reading order that is not supported by the selected typeface, BarTender treats the text as directionally mixed.
Minimum Value: Specifies the minimum value of the slider control.
Maximum Value: Specifies the maximum value of the slider control.
Tick Marks: Specifies how the tick marks are displayed for the slider control. They can be displayed on either side of the slider control, on both sides, or not at all.
Tick Interval: Specifies the amount of space between the tick marks. The greater the number, the greater the space between the tick marks. At print time, you can click the slider control and then use the right and left arrow keys to move the slider control in the specified increment.

If the slider control is linked to a data source that has the Range Checking transform enabled, the Minimum Value and Maximum Value properties are linked to the Range Checking transform. Therefore, changes that are made to these properties are updated to the data source transform, and changes that are made to the data source transform are updated to these properties.

Display Properties

Type: Specifies how the slider value is displayed. When you select Text, a read-only text value is displayed that is updated as you move the slider control. When you select Number Input Box, a number control is added, which displays the current slider value and which you can use to select the slider value that you want.
Position: Specifies where the slider value is displayed in relation to the control.
Autosize display: Specifies that BarTender automatically sizes the width of the display area to fit the Width property that is configured in the Slider Properties section.
Display Width: Specifies the width of the slider. Available when Autosize display is not selected.
Display Padding: Specifies the amount of space between the slider value display and the slider.
