Examples

The following code example displays a form that contains a TrackBar control and a TextBox control. The example demonstrates setting the Maximum, TickFrequency, LargeChange, and SmallChange properties and handling the Scroll event. The TextBox contents are updated to the Value property value when the Scroll event occurs.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Drawing;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;
public ref class Form1: public System::Windows::Forms::Form
{
private:
   System::Windows::Forms::TrackBar^ trackBar1;

      this->textBox1 = gcnew System::Windows::Forms::TextBox;
      this->trackBar1 = gcnew System::Windows::Forms::TrackBar;
      
      // TextBox for TrackBar::Value update.
      this->textBox1->Location = System::Drawing::Point( 240, 16 );
      this->textBox1->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 48, 20 );
      
      // Set up how the form should be displayed and add the controls to the form.
      this->ClientSize = System::Drawing::Size( 296, 62 );
      array<System::Windows::Forms::Control^>^formControls = {this->textBox1,this->trackBar1};
      this->Controls->AddRange( formControls );
      this->Text = "TrackBar Example";
      
      // Set up the TrackBar.
      this->trackBar1->Location = System::Drawing::Point( 8, 8 );
      this->trackBar1->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 224, 45 );
      this->trackBar1->Scroll += gcnew System::EventHandler( this, &Form1::trackBar1_Scroll );
      
      // The Maximum property sets the value of the track bar when
      // the slider is all the way to the right.
      trackBar1->Maximum = 30;
      
      // The TickFrequency property establishes how many positions
      // are between each tick-mark.
      trackBar1->TickFrequency = 5;
      
      // The LargeChange property sets how many positions to move
      // if the bar is clicked on either side of the slider.
      trackBar1->LargeChange = 3;
      
      // The SmallChange property sets how many positions to move
      // if the keyboard arrows are used to move the slider.
      trackBar1->SmallChange = 2;
   }

Remarks

When the user presses one of the arrow keys, the Value property changes according to the value set in the SmallChange property.

You might consider setting the value of SmallChange to a percentage of the value of the Height (for a vertically oriented track bar) or Width (for a horizontally oriented track bar) property. This sets the distance your track bar moves proportionate to its size.
