SliderControl Library

This is just a small library that makes SliderControls easier to control (pun not intended), with the following features:
-Set the position of a SliderControl (SliderControl_SetPosition)
-Get the position of a SliderControl (SliderControl_GetPosition)
-Trigger a custom event when the SliderControl is moved (OnWindowIdEvent_SliderPositionChanged)

Steps needed to use this library:
-Extract the attached zip to your script's folder
-Register your control with SliderControl_Register (You only need this if you are going to use the SliderPositionChanged event)
-Register the MessageNotification event with the SliderControl message handler (Again, only needed for the event, see example usage for more info)
-That's all folks, you're now ready to use this library!

Example Usage:

code:

---

/*----------
Example Usage of SliderControl
  In this example the window is called SliderExample, and the SliderControl's Id is TestSlider.
----------*/
var SliderExample = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("Example.xml", "SliderExample");
/* This just registers a few details the library needs */
SliderControl_Register(SliderExample, "TestSlider");

/* This handles the messages for when the user moves your SliderControl */
/* If you already use MessageNotification for other messages, simply trigger the
SliderControl_MessageHandler function inside your existing MessageNotification, passing
all the same parameters, e.g:
function OnSliderExampleEvent_MessageNotification(PlusWnd, Message, wParam, lParam){
  //Your other message handling stuff here
  SliderControl_MessageHandler(PlusWnd, Message, wParam, lParam);
}
*/
var OnSliderExampleEvent_MessageNotification = SliderControl_MessageHandler;

/* This event is triggered when the Slider is moved by the user */
function OnSliderExampleEvent_SliderPositionChanged(PlusWnd, ControlId, Position){
  Debug.Trace(PlusWnd.WindowId + "->" + ControlId + " is now at position " + Position);
}
/* This function sets the position of the specified SliderControl (duh) */
SliderControl_SetPosition(SliderExample, "TestSlider", 50);
/* And this function gets the current position of the specified SliderControl */
var Position = SliderControl_GetPosition(SliderExample, "TestSlider");

yes, I really need this thanks

Great

nice could come in useful

Awesome looks good EllyJelly!

Awesome! Works like a charm

I cant get it to work... , Copy pasted the code, and made my interface window like this..

code:

---

<Interfaces xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <Window Id="SliderExample" Version="1">
        <Position ClientWidth="310" ClientArea="172" Width="310" Height="172"/>
        <DialogTmpl/>
        <Controls>
            <Control xsi:type="ScrollBarControl" Id="TestSlider">
                <Position Left="200" Top="5" Height="100" Width="10" />
            </Control>
        </Controls>
    </Window>
</Interfaces>

* bigbob85 feels dumb...

Any idea how to use scrollbars?
Neva mind, I have an idea, ill make a thread about it.

* bigbob85 feels even more stupid when he realises his thread is not related to what he intended.

Hey, I've just implemented your code and it works great for the most part, but I had to rehash some of it to get it to work perfectly =P

Is there any reason the following condition wouldn't be detected properly?

code:

---

    if(typeof(GlobalScope[EventName]) == "function"){
      GlobalScope[EventName](PlusWnd, SliderControlArray[lParam], NewPosition);
    }

---

code:

---

eval (EventName + "(PlusWnd, SliderControlArray[lParam],NewPosition);")
