-- Command: slider ID/K, COMMAND/K, PORT/K, HELP/K, NODE/K, ATTRS/K/M
Slider gadget objects are created with this command. Slider,
popslider and knob gadgets are essentially identical with the only
difference being the base object class to create each type of
object. All options are identical for these objects.
* ID [I..] - an id can be assigned to a slider gadget for later
reference. The id can be any combination of up to 5
characters. If the id is given without any other arguments,
and the slider gadget has been previously created, then the
current slider level will be returned in RESULT (if OPTIONS
RESULTS is specified in the script).
* COMMAND [I..] - if given, the command will be executed
whenever the slider gadget is changed. For a complete
description of this option see Command-Port Options. Note
that the slider gadget level will be used to replace a `%s'
contained in the command string. Caution must be taken since
movement of the slider can result in a lot of commands. If
the command is at all time consuming the result will be very
sluggish slider action.
* PORT [I..] - a specific host port may be specified by this
argument. For a complete description of this option see
Command-Port Options.
* HELP [I..] - with this argument help text may be defined
which will be displayed as balloon help whenever the pointer
is over the associated slider gadget. Of course, this is
dependant on whether the user set up balloon help in the MUI
preference settings.
* NODE [I..] - this argument is used to specify a node in the
guide file given in the command line argument HELP for
`MUIRexx'. If the user positions the mouse pointer over the
slider gadget and presses the help button on the keyboard
then the guide file will be displayed at the node location.
* ATTRS [ISG] - with this option any MUIA attribute TAGs may be
set or retrieved (see Attribute TAGs).
