## Detailed Description

An abstract base class for slider widgets.

QwtAbstractSlider is a base class for slider widgets. It handles mouse events and updates the slider's value accordingly. Derived classes only have to implement the getValue() and getScrollMode() members, and should react to a valueChange(), which normally requires repainting.

## Member Function Documentation

void QwtAbstractSlider::fitValue | ( | double | value | ) | `[virtual, slot]`

  | Set the slider's value to the nearest integer multiple of the step size. Parameters:
  | valeu | Value
See also: setValue(), incValue() Reimplemented from QwtDoubleRange. Definition at line 550 of file qwt_abstract_slider.cpp. References QwtDoubleRange::fitValue(), and stopMoving().

virtual void QwtAbstractSlider::getScrollMode | ( | const QPoint & | p,
|  | int & | scrollMode,
|  | int & | direction
| ) | `[protected, pure virtual]`

  | Determine what to do when the user presses a mouse button. This function is abstract and has to be implemented by derived classes. It is called on a mousePress event. The derived class can determine what should happen next in dependence of the position where the mouse was pressed by returning scrolling mode and direction. QwtAbstractSlider knows the following modes: QwtAbstractSlider::ScrNone Scrolling switched off. Don't change the value. QwtAbstractSlider::ScrMouse Change the value while the user keeps the button pressed and moves the mouse. QwtAbstractSlider::ScrTimer Automatic scrolling. Increment the value in the specified direction as long as the user keeps the button pressed. QwtAbstractSlider::ScrPage Automatic scrolling. Same as ScrTimer, but increment by page size. Parameters:
  | p | point where the mouse was pressed
  Return values:
  | scrollMode | The scrolling mode
  | direction | direction: 1, 0, or -1.
Implemented in QwtDial, QwtSlider, and QwtWheel. Referenced by mousePressEvent(), and wheelEvent().

virtual double QwtAbstractSlider::getValue | ( | const QPoint & | p | ) | `[protected, pure virtual]`

Parameters:
  | val | New mass in kg

See also: isReadOnly() Definition at line 85 of file qwt_abstract_slider.cpp.

void QwtAbstractSlider::setTracking | ( | bool | enable | ) |

If tracking is disabled, the value changed() signal will only be emitted if: the user releases the mouse button and the value has changed or at the end of automatic scrolling. Tracking is enabled by default. Parameters:
