How to Modify the Labels on a KendoUI Slider Ticks?

[Rodney]

I am using the KendoUi Slider. I'm using the following setings:

jQuery(document).ready(function () {
        jQuery("#slider").kendoSlider({
            increaseButtonTitle: "Right",
            decreaseButtonTitle: "Left",
            showButtons: false,
            min: 1,
            max: 4,
            smallStep: .2,
            largeStep: 1,
            value: <%= TotalScore %>,
            tooltip:
                {
                    enabled:false
                }  
        });

I have four large steps and I want to label each of them "P" "O" "G" "I" instead of number values. How can I do this?

Hello Rodney,

Currently such functionality is not supported by Kendo UI Slider, but this idea sounds good. We will appreciate if you submit this suggestion as a feature request at our UserVoice page so the community can evaluate and vote for it. If this one turns out to be popular, we will consider its implementation for a future releases.

Kind regards,
