Slithery sliders

Over on the Use-list there is a thread currently running about a 3-way slder control.
I read that and got distracted by this:
"I was imagining more of the common "circle inside an oval" "switch" control you see on the web and in apps these days."
Then got myself in serious trouble with this:

Not perfect by a long, long way, but certainly a start.

That's very slick Richmond, and I'm glad the thread inspired something. This google search illustrates what I was originally looking for (while there are some exceptions in the images that come up, most are on-off 2-position switches that are a "thumb" (often circular) in a oval or rectangular "switch")

I've made a multiway switch. It's not perfect but is most the way there.

Resize the group by drag or script to resize the switch.
Look at the custom properties to change the number of positions and its current position. Also for changing the colours used.
At runtime, dragging the button slides it up and down and releasing snaps it to the nearest switch position.
Enjoy

That's groovy, but it has no "Blip".

Hi seaniepie,
Thanks you for share
I get an error if i dont resize group MultiWaySwitch.
numeric: divide by zero
Object MultiWaySwitch
Line put round((tX - sPropsA["pos1"]) / sPropsA["div"]),sPropsA["div"],sPropsA["range"],sPropsA["pos1"]
Hint btnRelease
I added an opencard message to avoid this
Code: Select all
on opencard
send resizeControl to grp "MultiWaySwitch"
end opencard
Best regards
Jean-Marc
