[Fxruby-users] FXSlider & FXDail

[Robert M. <ro...@ta...>]

Hi there,

Came across my first frustration today, I need to be able to increment by 0.1 
and neither FXSlider nor FXDail support that. I know I can get around this by 
rescaling the values being used but from my users point of view I unfortuatly 
need a "cleaner" solution.

I assume this is a problem with Fox itself rather than FXRuby? If so I wonder 
if Joeren (?) is open to petition on this.

hi,
hey! you are using ruby. you can adopt nearly everything to your needs.

you could subclass  FXSlider and overwrite the methods so that they 
accept and return float values. something like this should work (note: 
untestet code without any errorchecking i.e. div by zero, 
@float_increment.nil? ...)

class Slider < FXSlider
def increment= increment
	super(1)
	@float_increment=increment	
end

def increment
	@float_increment
end

alias :old_value= :value=
alias :old_value :value

def value= set_value
	old_value=(set_value/@float_increment).to_i
end

def value
	oldvalue*@float_increment
end
end #class

others please correct me if i am wrong.
hope this helps,

I'm probably missing something in the docs or examples, but I'm 
wondering if it is possible to display tick marks along a slider with 
numeric values as accompanying text labels. If so, would it be possible 
to adapt this "fixed point" slider to display the correct labels?

you can display tick marks (see SLIDER_... flags) but no labels with 
FXSlider.

Thanks Meinrad, I keep forgetting that I can do things like you proposed.

Many thanks!
