>>>>>>>>>>>>>Great.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>Now there are some other things to add:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>1 - InteractiveChange event
>>>>>>>>>>>>> When the user moves the mouse when left clicking the mouse
>>>>>>>>>>>>>2 - Orientation (0 = Horizontal / 1 = Vertical)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>3 - Tick Frequency
>>>>>>>>>>>>>4 - Tick Style (0 - BottomRight 1 - TopLeft 2 - Both 3 - No Ticks)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>5 - Line below the button
>>>>>>>>>>>>>6 - SmallChange / Big Change
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>Yes, I already have some of this in there. I just couldn't get the movement right. As soon as its
>>>>>>>>>>>>done, I'll send you a copy.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>Ok, I'd love some help. Here's the project
>>>>>>>>>>http://www.geocities.com/kevin.marois/slider/xslider.zip
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>Run the form Demo to see where I'm at.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>I was about to code the _SetValue and _PositionThumb methods.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>So far, _SetValue is called from the MouseDown of the control
>>>>>>>>>>_PositionThumb is called from iValue_Assign.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>Those 2 should be fairly simple. If you could work on those and and send it

>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>I welcome and and all suggestions.

>>>>>>>>>>Thanks

>>>>>>>>>Hi Kevin,
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>Thanks for the files.
>>>>>>>>>I started coding it, but got so excited, and could not stop :-)
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>I went a lot further. Please download my version:
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>http://weblogs.foxite.com/files/cesarchalom/slidebarx/SlideBarX.zip
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>Here are the main changes:
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>- Allow the mouse to slide in horizontal and vertical
>>>>>>>>>- Added the Value property
>>>>>>>>>- Added the "Scrolled" event, to make it compatible with the ActiveX from CTL32 (This will eliminate "ValueChanged")
>>>>>>>>>- Recreated the Track images, making it much taller / wider, in order to keep the appearance when the control is big.
>>>>>>>>>- Value assignments. Now you can assign a value directly to the control, and the slidebar will automatically update its position.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>- Some other various minor tweaks.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>There are still some things missing:
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>1 - to code the horizontal lines
>>>>>>>>>2 - To enable "Small Change / BigChange"
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>Please run the sample again, it was completely updated :-)
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>Hope you like

>>>>>>>>Very nice. I'll do the horizontal lines now.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>As far as the Small/Big change, I have already added a property called iIncrementStyle, where
>>>>>>>>0 means that the thumb is automatically aligned to the nearest tickmark, and 1 means that the
>>>>>>>>thumb can be moved anywhere.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>I'm also going to put code in the MouseEnter and MouseLeave to change the color of
>>>>>>>>the thumb, and finally I am also going to add a focus rectangle.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>I'll have it all done today and send it back.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>Thanks. Nice work.

>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>Cool !

>>>>>>>I'll wait for your next version till I restart working on it.

>>>I just fixed a couple of bugs. Please redownload the ZIP

>>
>>Ok,
>>
>>I feel we're getting close now :-)
>>
>>I'll code the Small/large change events, and also allow users to define the ranges of the control.
>>
>>
>>Apart from this, we still have:
>>
>>- Eliminate "InteractiveChange" event, it was replaced with "Scroll"
>>- Tick Style (0 - BottomRight 1 - TopLeft 2 - Both 3 - No Ticks)
>>- Change the button color when receiving focus
>>- Add new styles, to use the images that you sent with the control
>>- When receiving focus, allow arrow keys to change the control value
>>- Add an image to show the control appearance.
>>
>>- Allow dynamic modification when users change properties values during development, using Craig Boyd's technique.

>Good. I like it.

>Have you seen the latest ZIP? I updated the Demo form. I think it covers some of the items
>in this list.


Very nice sample !
