Is that what you want?

<ice:sliderEntry min="20" max="80" minLabel="Min value :" maxLabel="Max value represents " />

If so, just wondering where these labels should render?

Attached example reference of slider value labels.

No. What I'm referring to is the ability of the component to render out labels to represent the value range being used. See the attached image as a reference.

The slider should automatically calculate the label values based on the range min. max, and the number of label increments to render. For example, a slider with range 0 - 100 and 3 label increments would look like:

<------------------------------>

0 50 100

The same slider with 5 label increments would look like:

<------------------------------>

0 25 50 75 100

To avoid unnecessary complexity, having a single label increment option would be fine if it's substantially easier to implement. I would suggest the 3 increment (Min, Middle, Max) option as the best option if there can only be one.

So then you'd enable the labels via <ace:sliderEntry min="0" max="100" showLabels="true" labelSuffix="%">

Note that labelSuffix could be used to append a unit string to the label values, like the percentage shown in the attached image.

Ken I would be hard to render more then 3 labels. As the width of the slider can be change by the "length" attribute horizontally and vertically. It would be hard to render label to correct position. Seems like 3 increments should be able to implement.

<--------------------------------------------->
0 50 100

<-------------------------->
20 40 80

<--------------------------->
10 20 30

What do you say?

Displaying the value-range labels should be optional, via a new component attribute called "showLabels=true/false". Default can be false.

"showLabels" attribute added, default value is false.

Yip, please add a checkbox to enable/disable the new labels to the ace-showcase.

Added, but the checkbox single submit (specified by existing <icecore:singleSubmit/>) doesn't seem to work. You have to reload (i.e. click Slider Entry on the left again) to see the sliders affected. (The min-max value textboxes work still.)

From Ken:

This seem likely to be a problem with the slider component not respecting a dynamic change to the new showLabels attribute.

I noticed that there are some styling/skinning issues that need tweaking.

1. In the ace-showcase slider demo, the vertical slider with the "Rime" skin selected is not leaving enough horizontal whitespace between the slider bar and the labels. The Orange round slider button overlaps the label. Comparing the whitespace between the label and the bar on the vertical slider vs. the horizontal one seems to show that there is more space in the horizontal one. If so, making the vertical one use the same amount of whitespace should be sufficient. Otherwise, maybe scale the orange button images down a bit so they aren't so large ?

2. In the ace-showcase slider demo, the vertical slider with the "Sam" skin selected has the Arrow slider button image pointing away from the labels. A quick reference check with the Swing slider shows that that labels and arrow should point to the right for a vertical slider. So the arrow image used in the Sam skin needs to be flipped horizontally to point to the right.

1. Done.
