Detailed Description

A slider control for changing a value.

The slider can be horizontal, vertical, or rotary, and can optionally have a text-box inside it to show an editable display of the current value.

To use it, create a Slider object and use the setSliderStyle() method to set up the type you want. To set up the text-entry box, use setTextBoxStyle().

To define the values that it can be set to, see the setRange() and setValue() methods.

There are also lots of custom tweaks you can do by subclassing and overriding some of the virtual methods, such as changing the scaling, changing the format of the text display, custom ways of limiting the values, etc.

You can register Slider::Listener objects with a slider, and they'll be called when the value changes.

Changes the type of slider interface being used.

Parameters
newStylethe type of interface
See also
setRotaryParameters, setVelocityBasedMode

◆ getSliderStyle()

SliderStyle Slider::getSliderStyle ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the slider's current style.

See also
setSliderStyle

◆ setRotaryParameters() [1/2]

void Slider::setRotaryParameters ( RotaryParameters  newParameters)
noexcept

Changes the properties of a rotary slider.

◆ setRotaryParameters() [2/2]

void Slider::setRotaryParameters ( float  startAngleRadians,
float  endAngleRadians,
bool  stopAtEnd 
)
noexcept

Changes the properties of a rotary slider.

◆ getRotaryParameters()

RotaryParameters Slider::getRotaryParameters ( ) const
noexcept

Changes the properties of a rotary slider.

◆ setMouseDragSensitivity()

void Slider::setMouseDragSensitivity ( int  distanceForFullScaleDrag)

Sets the distance the mouse has to move to drag the slider across the full extent of its range.

This only applies when in modes like RotaryHorizontalDrag, where it's using relative mouse movements to adjust the slider.

◆ getMouseDragSensitivity()

int Slider::getMouseDragSensitivity ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the current sensitivity value set by setMouseDragSensitivity().

◆ setVelocityBasedMode()

void Slider::setVelocityBasedMode ( bool  isVelocityBased)

Changes the way the mouse is used when dragging the slider.

If true, this will turn on velocity-sensitive dragging, so that the faster the mouse moves, the bigger the movement to the slider. This helps when making accurate adjustments if the slider's range is quite large.

If false, the slider will just try to snap to wherever the mouse is.

◆ getVelocityBasedMode()

bool Slider::getVelocityBasedMode ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true if velocity-based mode is active.

See also
setVelocityBasedMode

◆ setVelocityModeParameters()

void Slider::setVelocityModeParameters ( double  sensitivity = 1.0,
int  threshold = 1,
double  offset = 0.0,
bool  userCanPressKeyToSwapMode = true,
ModifierKeys::Flags  modifiersToSwapModes = ModifierKeys::ctrlAltCommandModifiers 
)

Changes aspects of the scaling used when in velocity-sensitive mode.

These apply when you've used setVelocityBasedMode() to turn on velocity mode, or if you're holding down ctrl.

Parameters
sensitivityhigher values than 1.0 increase the range of acceleration used
thresholdthe minimum number of pixels that the mouse needs to move for it to be treated as a movement
offsetvalues greater than 0.0 increase the minimum speed that will be used when the threshold is reached
userCanPressKeyToSwapModeif true, then the user can hold down the ctrl or command key to toggle velocity-sensitive mode
modifiersToSwapModesthis is a set of modifier flags which will be tested when determining whether to enable/disable velocity-sensitive mode

◆ getVelocitySensitivity()

double Slider::getVelocitySensitivity ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the velocity sensitivity setting.

See also
setVelocityModeParameters

◆ getVelocityThreshold()

int Slider::getVelocityThreshold ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the velocity threshold setting.

See also
setVelocityModeParameters

◆ getVelocityOffset()

double Slider::getVelocityOffset ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the velocity offset setting.

See also
setVelocityModeParameters

◆ getVelocityModeIsSwappable()

bool Slider::getVelocityModeIsSwappable ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the velocity user key setting.

See also
setVelocityModeParameters

◆ setSkewFactor()

void Slider::setSkewFactor ( double  factor,
bool  symmetricSkew = false 
)

Sets up a skew factor to alter the way values are distributed.

You may want to use a range of values on the slider where more accuracy is required towards one end of the range, so this will logarithmically spread the values across the length of the slider.

If the factor is < 1.0, the lower end of the range will fill more of the slider's length; if the factor is > 1.0, the upper end of the range will be expanded instead. A factor of 1.0 doesn't skew it at all.

If symmetricSkew is true, the skew factor applies from the middle of the slider to each of its ends.

To set the skew position by using a mid-point, use the setSkewFactorFromMidPoint() method instead.

See also
getSkewFactor, setSkewFactorFromMidPoint, isSymmetricSkew

◆ setSkewFactorFromMidPoint()

void Slider::setSkewFactorFromMidPoint ( double  sliderValueToShowAtMidPoint)

Sets up a skew factor to alter the way values are distributed.

This allows you to specify the slider value that should appear in the centre of the slider's visible range.

See also
setSkewFactor, getSkewFactor, isSymmetricSkew

◆ getSkewFactor()

double Slider::getSkewFactor ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the current skew factor.

See setSkewFactor for more info.

See also
setSkewFactor, setSkewFactorFromMidPoint, isSymmetricSkew

◆ isSymmetricSkew()

bool Slider::isSymmetricSkew ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the whether the skew is symmetric from the midpoint to both sides.

See setSkewFactor for more info.

See also
getSkewFactor, setSkewFactor, setSkewFactorFromMidPoint

◆ setIncDecButtonsMode()

void Slider::setIncDecButtonsMode ( IncDecButtonMode  mode)

When the style is IncDecButtons, this lets you turn on a mode where the mouse can be dragged on the buttons to drag the values.

By default this is turned off. When enabled, clicking on the buttons still works them as normal, but by holding down the mouse on a button and dragging it a little distance, it flips into a mode where the value can be dragged. The drag direction can either be set explicitly to be vertical or horizontal, or can be set to incDecButtonsDraggable_AutoDirection so that it depends on whether the buttons are side-by-side or above each other.

◆ setTextBoxStyle()

void Slider::setTextBoxStyle ( TextEntryBoxPosition  newPosition,
bool  isReadOnly,
int  textEntryBoxWidth,
int  textEntryBoxHeight 
)

Changes the location and properties of the text-entry box.

Parameters
newPositionwhere it should go (or NoTextBox to not have one at all)
isReadOnlyif true, it's a read-only display
textEntryBoxWidththe width of the text-box in pixels. Make sure this leaves enough room for the slider as well!
textEntryBoxHeightthe height of the text-box in pixels. Make sure this leaves enough room for the slider as well!

See also
setTextBoxStyle, getValueFromText, getTextFromValue

◆ isTextBoxEditable()

bool Slider::isTextBoxEditable ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true if the text-box is read-only.

See also
setTextBoxStyle

◆ showTextBox()

void Slider::showTextBox ( )

If the text-box is editable, this will give it the focus so that the user can type directly into it.

This is basically the effect as the user clicking on it.

◆ hideTextBox()

void Slider::hideTextBox ( bool  discardCurrentEditorContents)

If the text-box currently has focus and is being edited, this resets it and takes keyboard focus away from it.

Parameters
discardCurrentEditorContentsif true, the slider's value will be left unchanged; if false, the current contents of the text editor will be used to set the slider position before it is hidden.

◆ setValue()

void Slider::setValue ( double  newValue,
NotificationType  notification = sendNotificationAsync 
)

Changes the slider's current value.

This will trigger a callback to Slider::Listener::sliderValueChanged() for any listeners that are registered, and will synchronously call the valueChanged() method in case subclasses want to handle it.

Parameters
newValuethe new value to set - this will be restricted by the minimum and maximum range, and will be snapped to the nearest interval if one has been set
notificationcan be one of the NotificationType values, to request a synchronous or asynchronous call to the valueChanged() method of any Slider::Listeners that are registered. A notification will only be sent if the Slider's value has changed.

◆ getValue()

double Slider::getValue ( ) const

Returns the slider's current value.

◆ getValueObject()

Value& Slider::getValueObject ( )
noexcept

Returns the Value object that represents the slider's current position.

◆ setMinAndMaxValues()

void Slider::setMinAndMaxValues ( double  newMinValue,
double  newMaxValue,
NotificationType  notification = sendNotificationAsync 
)

For a slider with two or three thumbs, this sets the minimum and maximum thumb positions.

This will trigger a callback to Slider::Listener::sliderValueChanged() for any listeners that are registered, and will synchronously call the valueChanged() method in case subclasses want to handle it.

Parameters
newMinValuethe new minimum value to set - this will be snapped to the nearest interval if one has been set.

◆ addListener()

void Slider::addListener ( Listener listener)

Adds a listener to be called when this slider's value changes.

◆ removeListener()

void Slider::removeListener ( Listener listener)

Removes a previously-registered listener.

◆ setDoubleClickReturnValue()

void Slider::setDoubleClickReturnValue ( bool  shouldDoubleClickBeEnabled,
double  valueToSetOnDoubleClick,
ModifierKeys  singleClickModifiers = ModifierKeys::altModifier 
)

This lets you choose whether double-clicking or single-clicking with a specified key modifier moves the slider to a given position.

By default this is turned off, but it's handy if you want either of these actions to act as a quick way of resetting a slider. Just pass in the value you want it to go to when double-clicked. By default the key modifier is the alt key but you can pass in another key modifier, or none to disable this behaviour.

See also
getDoubleClickReturnValue

◆ getDoubleClickReturnValue()

double Slider::getDoubleClickReturnValue ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the values last set by setDoubleClickReturnValue() method.

See also
setDoubleClickReturnValue

◆ isDoubleClickReturnEnabled()

bool Slider::isDoubleClickReturnEnabled ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true if double-clicking to reset to a default value is enabled.

See also
setDoubleClickReturnValue

◆ setChangeNotificationOnlyOnRelease()

void Slider::setChangeNotificationOnlyOnRelease ( bool  onlyNotifyOnRelease)

Tells the slider whether to keep sending change messages while the user is dragging the slider.

If set to true, a change message will only be sent when the user has dragged the slider and let go. If set to false (the default), then messages will be continuously sent as they drag it while the mouse button is still held down.

◆ setSliderSnapsToMousePosition()

void Slider::setSliderSnapsToMousePosition ( bool  shouldSnapToMouse)

This lets you change whether the slider thumb jumps to the mouse position when you click.

By default, this is true. If it's false, then the slider moves with relative motion when you drag it.

This only applies to linear bars, and won't affect two- or three- value sliders.

◆ getSliderSnapsToMousePosition()

bool Slider::getSliderSnapsToMousePosition ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true if setSliderSnapsToMousePosition() has been enabled.

◆ setPopupDisplayEnabled()

void Slider::setPopupDisplayEnabled ( bool  shouldShowOnMouseDrag,
bool  shouldShowOnMouseHover,
Component parentComponentToUse,
int  hoverTimeout = 2000 
)

If enabled, this gives the slider a pop-up bubble which appears while the slider is being dragged or hovered-over.

This can be handy if your slider doesn't have a text-box, so that users can see the value just when they're changing it.

If you pass a component as the parentComponentToUse parameter, the pop-up bubble will be added as a child of that component when it's needed. If you pass nullptr, the pop-up will be placed on the desktop instead (note that it's a transparent window, so if you're using an OS that can't do transparent windows you'll have to add it to a parent component instead).

By default the popup display shown when hovering will remain visible for 2 seconds, but it is possible to change this by passing a different hoverTimeout value. A value of -1 will cause the popup to remain until a mouseExit() occurs on the slider.

◆ getCurrentPopupDisplay()

Component* Slider::getCurrentPopupDisplay ( ) const
noexcept

If a popup display is enabled and is currently visible, this returns the component that is being shown, or nullptr if none is currently in use.

See also
setPopupDisplayEnabled

◆ setPopupMenuEnabled()

void Slider::setPopupMenuEnabled ( bool  menuEnabled)

If this is set to true, then right-clicking on the slider will pop-up a menu to let the user change the way it works.

By default this is turned off, but when turned on, the menu will include things like velocity sensitivity, and for rotary sliders, whether they use a linear or rotary mouse-drag to move them.

◆ setScrollWheelEnabled()

void Slider::setScrollWheelEnabled ( bool  enabled)

This can be used to stop the mouse scroll-wheel from moving the slider.

By default it's enabled.

◆ getThumbBeingDragged()

int Slider::getThumbBeingDragged ( ) const
noexcept

Returns a number to indicate which thumb is currently being dragged by the mouse.

This will return 0 for the main thumb, 1 for the minimum-value thumb, 2 for the maximum-value thumb, or -1 if none is currently down.

◆ startedDragging()

virtual void Slider::startedDragging ( )
virtual

Callback to indicate that the user is about to start dragging the slider.

See also
Slider::Listener::sliderDragStarted

◆ stoppedDragging()

virtual void Slider::stoppedDragging ( )
virtual

Callback to indicate that the user has just stopped dragging the slider.

See also
Slider::Listener::sliderDragEnded

◆ valueChanged()

virtual void Slider::valueChanged ( )
virtual

Callback to indicate that the user has just moved the slider.

See also
Slider::Listener::sliderValueChanged

◆ getValueFromText()

virtual double Slider::getValueFromText ( const String text)
virtual

Subclasses can override this to convert a text string to a value.

When the user enters something into the text-entry box, this method is called to convert it to a value. The default implementation just tries to convert it to a double.

See also
getTextFromValue

◆ getTextFromValue()

virtual String Slider::getTextFromValue ( double  value)
virtual

Turns the slider's current value into a text string.

Subclasses can override this to customise the formatting of the text-entry box.

The default implementation just turns the value into a string, using a number of decimal places based on the range interval. If a suffix string has been set using setTextValueSuffix(), this will be appended to the text.

See also
getValueFromText

◆ setTextValueSuffix()

void Slider::setTextValueSuffix ( const String suffix)

Sets a suffix to append to the end of the numeric value when it's displayed as a string.

This is used by the default implementation of getTextFromValue(), and is just appended to the numeric value. For more advanced formatting, you can override getTextFromValue() and do something else.

◆ getTextValueSuffix()

String Slider::getTextValueSuffix ( ) const

Returns the suffix that was set by setTextValueSuffix().

◆ getNumDecimalPlacesToDisplay()

int Slider::getNumDecimalPlacesToDisplay ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the best number of decimal places to use when displaying this slider's value.

It calculates the fewest decimal places needed to represent numbers with the slider's interval setting.

See also
setNumDecimalPlacesToDisplay

◆ setNumDecimalPlacesToDisplay()

void Slider::setNumDecimalPlacesToDisplay ( int  decimalPlacesToDisplay)

Modifies the best number of decimal places to use when displaying this slider's value.

See also
getNumDecimalPlacesToDisplay

◆ proportionOfLengthToValue()

virtual double Slider::proportionOfLengthToValue ( double  proportion)
virtual

Allows a user-defined mapping of distance along the slider to its value.

The default implementation for this performs the skewing operation that can be set up in the setSkewFactor() method. Override it if you need some kind of custom mapping instead, but make sure you also implement the inverse function in valueToProportionOfLength().

Parameters
proportiona value 0 to 1.0, indicating a distance along the slider
Returns
the slider value that is represented by this position
See also
valueToProportionOfLength

◆ valueToProportionOfLength()

virtual double Slider::valueToProportionOfLength ( double  value)
virtual

Allows a user-defined mapping of value to the position of the slider along its length.

The default implementation for this performs the skewing operation that can be set up in the setSkewFactor() method. Override it if you need some kind of custom mapping instead, but make sure you also implement the inverse function in proportionOfLengthToValue().

Parameters
valuea valid slider value, between the range of values specified in setRange()
Returns
a value 0 to 1.0 indicating the distance along the slider that represents this value
See also
proportionOfLengthToValue

◆ getPositionOfValue()

float Slider::getPositionOfValue ( double  value) const

Returns the X or Y coordinate of a value along the slider's length.

If the slider is horizontal, this will be the X coordinate of the given value, relative to the left of the slider. If it's vertical, then this will be the Y coordinate, relative to the top of the slider.

If the slider is rotary, this will throw an assertion and return 0. If the value is out-of-range, it will be constrained to the length of the slider.

◆ snapValue()

virtual double Slider::snapValue ( double  attemptedValue,
DragMode  dragMode 
)
virtual

This can be overridden to allow the slider to snap to user-definable values.

If overridden, it will be called when the user tries to move the slider to a given position, and allows a subclass to sanity-check this value, possibly returning a different value to use instead.

Parameters
attemptedValuethe value the user is trying to enter
dragModeindicates whether the user is dragging with the mouse; notDragging if they are entering the value using the text box or other non-dragging interaction
Returns
the value to use instead

◆ updateText()

void Slider::updateText ( )

This can be called to force the text box to update its contents.

(Not normally needed, as this is done automatically).

◆ isHorizontal()

bool Slider::isHorizontal ( ) const
noexcept

True if the slider moves horizontally.

◆ isVertical()

bool Slider::isVertical ( ) const
noexcept

True if the slider moves vertically.

◆ isRotary()

bool Slider::isRotary ( ) const
noexcept

True if the slider is in a rotary mode.

◆ isBar()

bool Slider::isBar ( ) const
noexcept

True if the slider is in a linear bar mode.

◆ isTwoValue()

bool Slider::isTwoValue ( ) const
noexcept

True if the slider has two thumbs.

◆ isThreeValue()

bool Slider::isThreeValue ( ) const
noexcept

True if the slider has three thumbs.
