>1. The help for this control says to set the selectrange property to .t. to select a range when the shift key is down. This seems to defeat the purpose of using a mouse. We do not have users press shift in order to use a spinner or combobox. Why do so for a slider?

A slider can do 2 things; select a value, or select a range of values. Pressing and holding the shift key is the interfaace signal that tells the slider that the user wants to select a range, not just a single value.

>2. There is no example in the slider help, so I looked at help for the selectrange property which has an example. It indicates that a developer must copy the example code to the "form's Declaration Section" in order to get the spinner to work. Where is the "form's Declaration Section"? I failed to find one in properties, data envior., builder, or code of the form.

Visual Basic forms have a declaration section. You will find that the help for most ActiveX controls is aimed at VB developers.


>3. Would it not be a better product if it worked right out of the box without reprogramming? Comboboxes and spinners work as is now.

Comboboxes and spinners are native VFP controls. The slider is not, it is an ActiveX control.
