Introduction

Needing a flexible slider control, I looked on CodeProject and found aeropriest Skin based slider control ( aeropriest's Article). As is often the case, the ideas where very good but the code contained a few bugs. I downloaded the code, fixed a few problems and here is the result.

The main changes are:-

• Slider follows mouse when dragged correctly.
• Slider is redrawn correctly.
• Slider changes bitmap when dragged.
• Back ground can be drawn dynamically.
• Back ground can be centered/stretched to correct size.
• Code tidied up.

For usage and other information see the original article. (aeropriest's article)
