Slider

The Slider control enables you to select a value from a range of values, usually from a minimum to a maximum, along a continuum. For example, the volume on a stereo. The left-hand side usually represents minimum value and the right-hand side usually represents high (the maximum) value, with a range of values in between.

The Slider control has a horizontal or vertical orientation, a track, and a movable thumb. A slider’s track can be annotated to show starting and ending points and ticks for the different values along the continuum. Unlike a scroll bar, a slider’s thumb remains fixed – both in size and in relation to the value it represents.

Common properties used on the slider are Minimum, Maximum, Value, and Orientation.
