Slider Control

The slider control is used for things where a sliding bar best represents the operation at hand (such as a volume control or seek control). You can choose the position, size, and look of the slider control.

Example

<control type="slider" id="17">
      <description>My first slider control</description>
      <left>80</left>
      <top>60</top>
      <width>250</width>
      <height>30</height>
      <visible>true</visible>
      <texturesliderbar>mybackgroundtexture.png</texturesliderbar>
      <textureslidernib>mydowntexture.png</textureslidernib>
      <textureslidernibfocus>mydownfocustexture.png</textureslidernibfocus>
      <info></info>
      <action></action>
      <controloffsetx></controloffsetx>
      <controloffsety></controloffsety>
      <pulseonselect></pulseonselect>
      <orientation>horizontal</orientation>
      <onup>2</onup>
      <ondown>3</ondown>
      <onleft>1</onleft>
      <onright>1</onright>
</control>

Available tags

In addition to the Default Control Tags the following tags are available. Note that each tag is lower case only. This is important, as xml tags are case-sensitive.
