Move to Point and range selection issue

[Nicole]

We have a RadSlider defined as follows:

<telerik:RadSlider x:Name="sldTimeSelection" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Orientation="Horizontal"
                   Minimum="-365" Maximum="0" IsMoveToPointEnabled="True"
                   IsSelectionRangeEnabled="True" MinimumRangeSpan="7" MaximumRangeSpan="365"
                   SelectionStart="-30" SelectionEnd="0"
                   IsSnapToTickEnabled="True" TickPlacement="BottomRight" Ticks="-7, -30, -90, -180, -365" EnableSideTicks="False" Margin="5,0" >
</telerik:RadSlider>

Move to Point works perfectly with the mouse when expanding the slider range in the decrease direction.  However, if you click inside the range itself, neither handle moves.  This makes sense, since the control has no way of knowing which handle you want to move.  However, I want to lock the increase handle (per my other thread) and allow the user to click inside the range to move the decrease handle to a high value.

For example, the slider starts at -30 to 0.
I click on/near the -90 tick and the range is now -90 to 0, which is good.
I click on/near the -30 tick, and the range does not move.  The desired behavior is for the range to become smaller at -30 to 0.

Is this possible?

Hi Nicole,

With a little bit of code I managed to implement the scenario you're looking for. Could you please take a look at the attached project and let me know if it works for you.

All the best,

This works beautifully, thanks!

A quick modification for posterity -- the additional lines prevent mouse clicks which are in the window but not on the control from moving the slider.

private void Slider_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    var frameworkEl = e.OriginalSource as FrameworkElement;
    if (frameworkEl != null)
    {
        var container = frameworkEl.ParentOfType<RadSlider>();
        if (container != null)
        {
            var width = container.ActualWidth;
            var mousePosition = e.GetPosition(this.sldTimeSelection);
            var value = ((this.sldTimeSelection.Maximum - this.sldTimeSelection.Minimum) * (mousePosition.X - width)) / width;
            this.sldTimeSelection.SelectionStart = this.SnapToTick(value);
        }
    }
}
