SLIDER

The SLIDER control represents a slider. The main use of the slider is to limit the user input to specific values. It uses a number representation for its values, but the numbers can also be used to express string values.

The following topics are covered below:


Example

Slider

The XML layout definition is:

<rowarea name="Number Output">
    <itr>
        <slider valueprop="slider1" from="13" to="60" showrange="true"
                                              showcurrentvalue="false">
        </slider>
    </itr>
</rowarea>

The control can be customized by setting its start value, end value and a step. The start and end values form a closed interval. The step defines the distance between two valid values represented by the slider in this interval.

Slider

In the above example, the value for the step is the default value "1". The possible values represented by the slider are the integers from "13" to "60". It is possible to specify a floating-point number as a step, for example "0,25". The slider can be further customized by setting the properties showrange and showcurrentvalue which show the range (start and end value) and the current value of the slider while the user is moving it. The width and height of the slider point is adjustable. The slider point is the element which the user drags and drops. The colors, the borders of the slider, the point, the line, the range and the current value can also be customized.

njx:natname

If a Natural variable with a name not valid for Application Designer (for instance #FIELD1) shall be bound to the control, a different name (for instance HFIELD1) can be bound instead. If the original name (in this case #FIELD1) is then specified in this attribute, the original name is generated into the parameter data area of the Natural adapter and a mapping between the two names is generated into the PROCESS PAGE statement of the Natural adapter. This mapping must not break a once defined group structure. If for instance a grid control that is bound to a name of GRID1 contains fields that are bound to FIELD1 and FIELD2 respectively, the corresponding njx:natname values may be #GRID1.#FIELD1 and #GRID1.#FIELD2, but not #GRID1.#FIELD1 and #MYGRID1.#FIELD2.

Optional  
njx:natcomment

The value of this attribute is generated as comment line into the parameter data area of the Natural adapter, before the field name. The Map Converter, for instance, uses this attributes to indicate for a generated statusprop variable to which field the statusprop belongs.
