Sliders

Send Feedback

On Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs, a slider control is used to set or adjust values within a range.

When you include sliders in your application, use the following guidelines:

  • Generally, static text, graphics, or other information is added to the control to communicate the purpose of the slider and what the beginning and ending values of the range represent.
  • The control supports both horizontal and vertical orientation.

State Attributes

The following illustration shows the possible states for slider controls on a Windows Mobile-based Pocket PC device.

Label Attributes

For slider labels on a Windows Mobile–based Pocket PC, use the 9pt Tahoma black font and sentence capitalization.

Development Considerations

Consider the following development conditions when you include slider controls in an application:

  • Sliders do not include their own label, so use a static text field to create one.
  • Sliders support both horizontal and vertical orientation.
  • You can add text and graphics to help the user interpret the scale and range of the control.
