Introduction
Needing a flexible slider control, I looked on CodeProject and found aeropriest Skin based slider control ( aeropriest's Article). As is often the case, the ideas where very good but the code contained a few bugs. I downloaded the code, fixed a few problems and here is the result.
The main changes are:-
- Slider follows mouse when dragged correctly.
- Slider is redrawn correctly.
- Slider changes bitmap when dragged.
- Back ground can be drawn dynamically.
- Back ground can be centered/stretched to correct size.
- Code tidied up.
For usage and other information see the original article. (aeropriest's article)
