B4J Question Slider step

[red30]

I use the slider (1..10) with the settings:

    joSlider.RunMethod("setBlockIncrement", Array(0.3))
    joSlider.RunMethod("setMajorTickUnit", Array(1.0))
    joSlider.RunMethod("setMinorTickCount", Array(2))
    joSlider.RunMethod("setShowTickLabels", Array(True))
    joSlider.RunMethod("setShowTickMarks", Array(True))
    joSlider.RunMethod("setValueChanging", Array(True))
    joSlider.RunMethod("setSnapToTicks", Array(True))

I turn to Private Sub Slider1_ValueChange (Value As Double)for any slider shift. Can I do something to make the slider move only in steps?
1,1.33,1,66.1.99,2.33 and so on...
I do not want to go to Slider1_ValueChange at intermediate values

This will do what you want

JoSlider.RunMethod("setSnapToTicks", Array(True))
    JoSlider.RunMethod("setBlockIncrement", Array(0.3))
    JoSlider.RunMethod("setMajorTickUnit", Array(1.0))
    JoSlider.RunMethod("setMinorTickCount", Array(2))
    JoSlider.RunMethod("setShowTickLabels", Array(True))
    JoSlider.RunMethod("setShowTickMarks", Array(True))

Sub Slider1_ValueChange (Value As Double)
    Dim JO As JavaObject = Sender
    If JO.RunMethod("isValueChanging",Null) Then Return
    Log("New value: " & Value)
End Sub

setValueChanging is not required and is set by the system when needed.

Thank! But this only works after I release the mouse button. And how to make it so that when I pulled the mouse pointer, the values only changed according to the specified steps?

You would think that the setSnapToTicks method would do this, but it doesn't seem to work that way. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38681664/how-to-make-javafx-slider-to-move-in-discrete-steps

That is, it is impossible to make the slider move only in steps?

it is impossible to make the slider move only in steps?

no?

Or in Java

Slider slider = new Slider(1, 4, 1);
slider.setBlockIncrement(1);
slider.setMajorTickUnit(1);
slider.setMinorTickCount(0);
slider.setShowTickLabels(true);
slider.setSnapToTicks(true);

The key here is the snap to ticks option combined with a proper combination of tick units. This setting results in the following slider which can only be used to select values ranging from 1 to 4

DonManfred did not see this line:

Slider slider = new Slider(1, 4, 1);

How to apply it in b4a?

 

[red30]

The problem is that if I use:

Slider slider = new Slider(1, 4, 1);
slider.setBlockIncrement(1);
slider.setMajorTickUnit(1);
slider.setMinorTickCount(0);
slider.setShowTickLabels(true);
slider.setSnapToTicks(true);

When I lead a slider between 1 and 2, I get to Slider_ValueChange. And I wanted it to stick only in numbers 1,2,3,4

For your example in post#1 you could use the code below, Value is in 1/3 steps:

Private Sub sldTest_ValueChange (Value As Double)
    Private intValue As Int
    intValue = Value * 3 + 0.5
    Value = intValue / 3
    lblValue.Text = NumberFormat(Value, 1, 2)
End Sub
