Slider/Scroll Bar

Functions | Macros | Structures | Topics

Slider or Scrollbar supports both Keyboard and Touchscreen inputs, replying to their events with the following messages:

1. SLD_MSG_INC - when the thumb is to be incremented in position

2. SLD_MSG_DEC - when the thumb is to be decremented in position

The Slider object is rendered using the assigned style scheme. The following figure illustrates the color assignments.

Functions

	Name	Description
	SldCreate	This function creates a SLIDER object with the parameters given. Depending on the SLD_SCROLLBAR state bit slider or scrollbar mode is set. If SLD_SCROLLBAR is set, mode is scrollbar; if not set mode is slider. It automatically attaches the new object into a global linked list of objects and returns the address of the object.
	SldDraw	This function renders the object on the screen using the current parameter settings. Location of the object is determined by the left, top, right and bottom parameters. The colors used are dependent on the state of the object. When rendering objects of the same type, each object must be rendered completely before the rendering of the next object is started. This is to avoid incomplete object rendering.
	SldSetPage	This sets the page size of the object. Page size defines the delta change of the thumb position when incremented via SldIncPos() or decremented via SldDecPos(). Page size minimum value is 1. Maximum value is range/2.
	SldSetPos	This function sets the position of the slider thumb. Value should be in the set range inclusive. Object must be redrawn to reflect the change.
	SldSetRange	This sets the range of the thumb. If this field is changed Object must be completely redrawn to reflect the change.
	SldMsgDefault	This function performs the actual state change based on the translated message given. The following state changes are supported:
	SldTranslateMsg	This function evaluates the message from a user if the message will affect the object or not. The table below enumerates the translated messages for each event of the touch screen and keyboard inputs.

Macros

Name	Description
SldGetPage	Returns the current page size of the object. Page size defines the delta change of the thumb position when incremented via SldIncPos() or decremented via SldDecPos(). Page size minimum value is 1. Maximum value is range/2.
SldGetPos	Returns returns the current position of the slider thumb.
SldGetRange	Returns the current range of the thumb.
SldIncPos	This macro increment the slider position by the delta change (page) value set. Object must be redrawn after this function is called to reflect the changes to the object.
SldDecPos	This macro decrement the slider position by the delta change (page) value set. Object must be redrawn after this function is called to reflect the changes to the object.

Structures

Name	Description
SLIDER	Defines the parameters required for a slider/scrollbar Object. Depending on the SLD_SCROLLBAR state bit slider or scrollbar mode is set. If SLD_SCROLLBAR is set, mode is scrollbar; if not set mode is slider. For scrollbar mode, focus rectangle is not drawn.
