Class Slider

javafx.scene.control.Slider

All Implemented Interfaces:: Styleable, EventTarget, Skinnable

public class Slider
extends Control

The Slider Control is used to display a continuous or discrete range of valid numeric choices and allows the user to interact with the control. It is typically represented visually as having a "track" and a "knob" or "thumb" which is dragged within the track. The Slider can optionally show tick marks and labels indicating the different slider position values.

The three fundamental variables of the slider are min, max, and value. The value should always be a number within the range defined by min and max. min should always be less than or equal to max (although a slider whose min and max are equal is a degenerate case that makes no sense). min defaults to 0, whereas max defaults to 100.

This first example creates a slider whose range, or span, goes from 0 to 1, and whose value defaults to .5:

 Slider slider = new Slider(0, 1, 0.5);

This next example shows a slider with customized tick marks and tick mark labels, which also spans from 0 to 1:

 Slider slider = new Slider(0, 1, 0.5);
 slider.setShowTickMarks(true);
 slider.setShowTickLabels(true);
 slider.setMajorTickUnit(0.25f);
 slider.setBlockIncrement(0.1f);

Since:: JavaFX 2.0

Property Details

max

public final DoubleProperty maxProperty

The maximum value represented by this Slider. This must be a value greater than min.

See Also:: getMax(), setMax(double)

min

public final DoubleProperty minProperty

The minimum value represented by this Slider. This must be a value less than max.

See Also:: getMin(), setMin(double)

value

public final DoubleProperty valueProperty

The current value represented by this Slider. This value must always be between min and max, inclusive. If it is ever out of bounds either due to min or max changing or due to itself being changed, then it will be clamped to always remain valid.

See Also:: getValue(), setValue(double)

valueChanging

public final BooleanProperty valueChangingProperty

When true, indicates the current value of this Slider is changing. It provides notification that the value is changing. Once the value is computed, it is reset back to false.

See Also:: isValueChanging(), setValueChanging(boolean)

orientation

public final ObjectProperty<Orientation> orientationProperty

The orientation of the Slider can either be horizontal or vertical.

See Also:: getOrientation(), setOrientation(Orientation)

showTickLabels

public final BooleanProperty showTickLabelsProperty

Specifies whether the Skin implementation should show tick marks.

See Also:: isShowTickMarks(), setShowTickMarks(boolean)

majorTickUnit

public final DoubleProperty majorTickUnitProperty

A function for formatting the label for a major tick. The number representing the major tick will be passed to the function. If this function is not specified, then a default function will be used by the Skin implementation.

See Also:: getLabelFormatter(), setLabelFormatter(StringConverter)

blockIncrement

public final DoubleProperty blockIncrementProperty

The amount by which to adjust the slider if the track of the slider is clicked. This is used when manipulating the slider position using keys. If snapToTicks is true then the nearest tick mark to the adjusted value will be used.
