Hi Folks,

Stupid question how do I get the state of a slider? I thought this might work:

Code: Select all

on mouseMove
  put the value of me into theData
end mouseMove

thanks in advance

A slider is a form of scrollbar object, so you should check the thumbposition on scrollbarDrag

Code: Select all

on scrollbarDrag
  put the thumbPosition of me into theData
end scrollbarDrag

Great, Thankyou.

I should have known that, but I couldn't find any documentation or examples anywhere.

Hi friends,

there is a parameter that gets send with "scrollbardrag" ->tValue_or_whatever_you_name_it!

Code: Select all

on scrollbardrag tValue_or_whatever_you_name_it
  put tValue_or_whatever_you_name_it into fld 1
end scrollbardrag
:-)


Best

Oh duh! yes of course! I knew that, but... I guess I got caught by answering "in the style of the question" instead of thinking. Sorry!
(Not that it won't work, the way I said - but the syntax is nicer this way.)
