First ... somebody created this interesting design of a vector based slider. It seems to only exist in a vertical format. I thought it'd be useful if the matching 'horizontal' version was available, cause you just never know what a GUI design might come up.

I have made some minor mods to the original design. Added a 'center' marker when CNTRL clicking to reset to default [center] position [handy].

The 'simple' vector design is very useful, since it can be easily 'sized' to order without resorting to bitmap making.

I have managed to mangle, and distort ... bend,fold, mutilate ... but I can't seem to get this to look and work.

If anyone is bored :lol: or would like to add to the 'toolbox' ... might we have a chance to provide this lonely slider with it's horizontal twin ??

Thanks gang !!

Here is a rotated vector slider.
The builder of the vertical one was Outsim,
this part of the original UI controls,
which I have rotated.

Cheers man, hope u can mesh these to satisfaction

Nix ... man was that fast !!!!

Just checking it out ...

It does have a snag to it, though :(

The vertical was able to 'reset' to default any where in the 'active' section of the window ...

This horiz version seems to have a glitch in trying to do that.

Any chance to visit that ???

... I need to look at what you did here and see what I was messing.

Jay ... yes that does help !!!

I was just going back and forth between the previous example ... made some progress to adjust the original, but ended up with the same 'reset' condition :|

Just tested your post, and it seems to work great ! :D

Now to look inside to hopefully identify where I was going wrong. :roll: Then I can look at possible 'graphics' changes.

Big thanks Jay !!
