RE: [GD-Windows] Troubles with Win32 slider

[Andrew G. <ag...@cl...>]

Trackbar is the correct name for the control I think you mean, that should
help you find the correct section in MSDN.
 
If not, all the messages are prefixed TBM_ and it's similar in concept to a
scrollbar.

Subject: [GD-Windows] Troubles with Win32 slider


I put a vanilla Win32 slider in a dialog (in VC6's resource editor), and I
can't seem to get it work.
 
This is probably very easy once you know how to do it, but neither the MSDN
nor Google seems to answer this basic question clearly : how do I get back
the slider's position ? (!)
 
Note that :
- For checkboxes or radio buttons it worked like a charm using, for example,
IsDlgButtonChecked(). I'm looking for similar brain-dead functions to handle
sliders.
- I don't want to / can't use MFC here.
- I tried to catch various messages in the parent window, GetScrollPos(),
etc, nothing seems to work.
 
I'll appreciate a small overview, or a working link to a decent tutorial.
 
Thanks,
 
- Pierre
