O.P. [Library] SliderControl
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");

Known problems:
-Doesn't work for vertically oriented SliderControls, working on it. FIXED

RE: [Library] SliderControl
I cant get it to work... :S, 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>

Also, having a <VerticalBar/> in there didnt help either.. Any ideas?

Should be a SliderControl, hence the name of the library. :P

RE: [Library] SliderControl

Any idea how to use scrollbars? :P
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.

RE: [Library] SliderControl
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);
    }

It returns that the type of this event is undefined =\. I replaced that bit and based on the code I threw together, I know that its there and works:

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

Anyone know the reason this could be?
