Custom tick labels

[Christopher]

Is it possible somehow to bind the Ticks source to a list of strings? For example A, B, C, D, E etc

I want to use the slider to change between different modes rather then just use its numerical values :)

Kind regards
Christopher

Hello Christopher,

Unfortunately, this is not supported out of the box. However you can bind the ThickTemplate property of the RadSlider control as described in this article. Furthermore, you can use a converter to return the desired strings like this:
XAML

<Window.Resources>
        <local:MyConverter x:Key="Conv"/>

    </Window.Resources>
    <Grid>
        <telerik:RadSlider Maximum="10" TickFrequency="1" TickPlacement="Both">
            <telerik:RadSlider.TickTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <Grid>
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Converter={StaticResource Conv}}" FontSize="11"/>
                    </Grid>
                </DataTemplate>
            </telerik:RadSlider.TickTemplate>
        </telerik:RadSlider>
    </Grid>

C#

public class MyConverter : IValueConverter
    {
        #region IValueConverter Members

        public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
        {
            switch (value.ToString())
            {
                case "0": return "Your first string";
                case "1": return "Your second strig";
//more cases
                default:
                    return "default";
            }
        }

        public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }

        #endregion
    }

I hope this will help you.
