Java Tutorial/SWT/Slider

Introducing Slider

1. Sliders allow users to select a value within a given range.
2. You can create both horizontal and vertical sliders(SWT.HORIZONTAL or SWT.VERTICAL ) .

Set Slider Min and Max Value

   <source lang="java">

import org.eclipse.swt.SWT; import org.eclipse.swt.layout.FillLayout; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Slider; public class SliderMinMaxValue {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
   Display display = new Display();
   Shell shell = new Shell(display);
   shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());

   // Create a horizontal Slider, accepting the defaults
   new Slider(shell, SWT.HORIZONTAL);
   // Create a vertical Slider and set its properties
   Slider slider = new Slider(shell, SWT.VERTICAL);
   slider.setMinimum(0);
   slider.setMaximum(100);
   slider.setIncrement(5);
   slider.setPageIncrement(20);
   slider.setSelection(75);
   
   shell.open();
   while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
     if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
       display.sleep();
     }
   }
   display.dispose();
 }
