Tick- values do not display

[Dean]

I haven't used the slider control before, so hopfully I am missing something simple. First,
using the follwing code, the slider value are not displayed: 

<telerik:RadSlider id="RadSlider1" runat="server" Height="95px"

 

 

ItemType="Tick" Length="300" MaximumValue="5" MinimumValue="1" Value="3" Width="400px" Skin="Windows7" TrackPosition="TopLeft" >

 

 

 

</telerik:RadSlider>


Thanks for you help.

Hi Dean Jurecic,
I already answered your support ticket with the same question. I will give the information here as well, so that it is available to all, who might run in the same problem:

In the case ItemType="Tick", the slider control displays tick marks for its SmallChange and LargeChange values. Only the tick marks for the LargeChange values show the value of the slider. By default, the value of the SmallChange property of the slider is 1, which means that in your case, the slider will display a SmallChange tick mark for the following values - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. On the other hand, the default value of the LargeChange property is 0 - this means that the slider will not display LargeChange tick marks. I suppose what you are trying to achieve is the following:

<telerik:RadSlider ID="RadSlider1" runat="server" Height="95px" ItemType="Tick" Length="300"
    MaximumValue="5" MinimumValue="1" Value="3" Width="400px" Skin="Windows7" TrackPosition="TopLeft"
    SmallChange="1" LargeChange="1">
</telerik:RadSlider>

Hi,

How can I set these properties from codebehind for a programatically generated Slider?

I have now:

Dim radSlider1 As New RadSlider()
radSlider1.IsSelectionRangeEnabled=true
radSlider1.SelectionStart=2
radSlider1.SelectionEnd=40
radSlider1.MinimumValue=0
radSlider1.MaximumValue=100
radSlider1.LargeChange=10

No value text is shown on the slider

BR,
Marc

Hi Fit2Page,

You appear to be missing the initialization for the following properties -

1. SmallChange
2. TrackPosition
3. ItemType

The code should be pretty straightforward:

radSlider1.SmallChange = 10
radSlider1.TrackPosition = "TopLeft"
radSlider1.ItemType = "Tick"

Hope this helps.

That won't work, I get:

Exception Details: System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

Source Error:

Line 20: radSlider1.LargeChange=10 Line 21: radSlider1.SmallChange = 10 Line 22: radSlider1.TrackPosition = "TopLeft" Line 23: radSlider1.ItemType = "Tick" Line 24:

Hello Marc,

Yes, indeed this code should not work correctly. Please, accept my apologies for the error. This property requires an enumeration value, more precely of the SliderItemType type. Here is the correct initialization:

radSlider1.ItemType = SliderItemType.Tick

All the best,

Hello Marc,

In the last post I forgot to include the TrackPosition initialization as well. Here it is:

radSlider1.TrackPosition = SliderTrackPosition.TopLeft

The issue is the same, the enumeration of type SliderTrackPosition should be assigned to the TrackPosition property.
