17.3.2..Slider Creation.....................................................................................

To provide a slider to an application, from the Controls toolbox, click the Slider button

and click the desired area on the dialog box or the form.

To programmatically create a slider, declare a pointer to CSliderCtrl using the new

operator. To initialize the control, call its Create() method. Here is an example:

BOOL CDlgSlide::OnInitDialog()

{

CDialog::OnInitDialog();

// TODO: Add extra initialization here

CSliderCtrl *TrackBar = new CSliderCtrl;

TrackBar->Create(WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE,

CRect(15, 20, 222, 50), this, 0x14);

return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control

// EXCEPTION: OCX Property Pages should return FALSE

}
