Slider — slider

Overview

A slider for choosing from a range of numbers.

A slider always has a minimum and maximum value (defaults to 0 - 20). Tick marks can be displayed to help the user find specific values. The output value can be either an integer (if rounding is enabled) or a float.

Available: Stacks API v3

Minimum

The minimum value for the slider.


Maximum

The maximum value for the slider.


Rounding

If rounding is enabled then the returned values will be integers. When disabled returned values will be floating point. Rounding is enabled by default

Note: because rounding is enabled by default, you must include this key and set it to False in order to disable rounding.




Ticks

The number of tick marks to display on the slider. This includes the left and rightmost tick mark. Setting this value to 1 has undefined behavior.


Units

The units string is displayed next to the slider value. The units is strictly for the user interface, it will not be included in template output value.


Default Value

When the stack is placed onto the page the default value will be used. If no default is provided, 0 will be used.




Clear Value

When all the content is cleared out of a text input area (the user deletes all the text), the control will automatically fill with this value. This is useful for applications where a non-empty string is required.


ID

The ID for this control. This ID must be unique within this stack. The ID is used to refer to control's property. IDs should be alpha-numeric (dashes and underscores are allowed), but should not contain special characters.




Title

The title displayed next to the control. Long titles will be trancated, so keep it short.




Enable

Hide or show the control based on the value of another property.

Enables allow a stack to show only the controls needed by the user to achieve a specific task.

The enable dictionary defines the ID of another control and the value that other control must equal. When the other control's value is not equal to the provided value, this control is hidden.

Enable Dictionary

Warning: creating infinite loops in enable dependencies has undefined behavior but will likely result in a crash.




Tool Tip

The tooltip value is used to display hints for the user on the use of each control. If the function of the control is obvious, then a tooltip should be avoided. Simply re-displaying redundant information like the title has no value to the user.
