SLIDER

PLBCMP GUI Only

The SLIDER instruction defines an object variable for a slider bar. Slider bars represent a position along a continuum using a slider and optionally tick marks. During program execution, the slider can be moved to the desired position by dragging it with the mouse or clicking the mouse on the bar. To use the keyboard to move the slider, press the arrow keys, the PageUp or PageDown keys, or the Home and End keys. To define a SLIDER, use one of the following statement formats:

(1)	[label]	SLIDER	[%]
(2)	[label]	SLIDER	(arraysize)
(3)	[label]	SLIDER	^
(4)	[label]	SLIDER	^,{target}
(5)	[label]	SLIDER	^(arraysize)
(6)	[label]	SLIDER	^(arraysize),({target}),...,({target})
