Answered Slider with small Width...

Hi.

I updated to Q2 2009 SP1 and now I have problem with small sliders (Width less than 56).
I use default theme (I think Office_black) and when I want to create slider with small Width it is not working right.

For example I want to do something like this:

myTestSlider = new Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadSlider();
myTestSlider.IsSnapToTickEnabled = true;
myTestSlider.TickPlacement = Telerik.Windows.Controls.TickPlacement.None;
myTestSlider.TickFrequency = 1;
myTestSlider.Focusable = false;
myTestSlider.Width = 34; // 8+20+6
myTestSlider.Minimum = 1;
myTestSlider.Maximum = 10;
Canvas.SetLeft(myTestSlider, 10);
Canvas.SetTop(myTestSlider, 10);
myTestCanvas.Children.Add(myTestSlider);

Slider Control has width 34 but its "internal" parts look and work like on width around 56 and so right part is not visible and goes beyond right border.
I don’t know if I am doing something wrong but currently I am not able to make small sliders.

Best regards,
Michal

Hi Michal,

Thank you for reporting this inconsistency, which is caused by a MinWidth set in the template of RadSlider. We will make sure to fix it as soon as possible. As a workaround, you can edit the ControlTemplate of RadSlider and remove the problematic MinWidth. I have attached a sample project that demonstrates how to add a RadSlider with Width="34" to a Canvas.
Give it a try and let me know if you experience any problems or you have additional questions.

Sincerely yours,
