>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>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

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>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

>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>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 noticed that you added a Value property, with Access and Assign methods. I'm guessing

>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>Sound Ok?
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>Yes, I noticed that.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>Well, it's your control.
>>>>>>>>>

>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>Also, I removed the event "ValueChanged", and replaced it with "Scrolled" that is the name that the CTL32 Control uses.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>They all do the same thing...
>>>>>>>>>Choose the way you prefer.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>Another point to think:
>>>>>>>>>The way aI coded, Value / iValue can be range only between 0 and 100. Maybe the best is to allow the user to define the ranges, and the control will automatically update itself.

>Either way is ok with me. Take a look at the Windows Volumn Control dialog. There are both horizontal

Thanks, I'll check the ActiveX behavior before doing it. Anyway, a property can handle this too. I'll make the default the same as the CTL32 does, ok ?
