Basic Mashup Widgets Guide Part 2 

 

Step 3: Slider

 

A Slider allows your application users to interactively select a numeric value. When the user changes the position of the slider bar, an event is fired and the value property is changed.

  1. On the New Mashup tab, enter slider inside the Filter field in the top left.
  2. Drag-and-drop the Slider widget onto the top-right Container of your Mashup.

3. In the lower panel of the left dock, scroll to the Maximum property and change the value to 1000.

4. Change the Value property to 500 set the default position of the slider.

 

Add Value Display

To demonstrate the Slider functionality we will add a Value Display Widget within the same Container of your Mashup as the Slider and bind the slider widget output to the input of the Value Display.

        1. In the Filter field where you entered slider, enter value.

       2. Drag-and-drop a Value Display widget onto the same upper-right Container as the Slider widget.
