TrackBarGadget - Variable steps or ticks

[IdeasVacuum]

Currently, tick markers (if flagged), are placed at every step. This is often not very useful because they are too close together. It would be great if the number of tick marks displayed could be defined by a simple var, e.g. TotalTicks = 10.

Or with a new argument:

Code: Select all

TicStep = (BarMax - BarMin) / 5
Result = TrackBarGadget(#Gadget, x, y, Width, Height, BarMin, BarMax, TicStep [, Flags])

Currently, tick markers (if flagged), are placed at every step.

Isn't that a Windows feature? I for one like to use arrow keys to advance back or forth every tick... it's counter-intuitive to move what you think is one single tick but it's really ten! No thanks.

In the mean time (for windows only) :

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0,0,0,320,200,"CheckBoxGadget",#PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
    h = TrackBarGadget(#PB_Any,270, 10, 20,170,0,1000,#PB_TrackBar_Vertical)  
   SetGadgetState(h, 800)   
   For a=50 To 1000 Step 50
      SendMessage_(GadgetID(h), #TBM_SETTIC, 0, a)
   Next
   
   ; SetWindowLong_(h, #GWL_STYLE, GetWindowLong_(h, #GWL_STYLE) | #TBS_LEFT)   
   
   h = TrackBarGadget(#PB_Any,20, 10, 200,27,0,1000)  
   SetGadgetState(h, 800)  
   For a=50 To 1000 Step 50
      SendMessage_(GadgetID(h), #TBM_SETTIC, 0, a)
   Next
   
   Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent()=#PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

Yeah. These every step ticks are very annoying...
