    Hi,

    Do you mean you want z to have the same value as the slider ?

        Then it's simply: z = position;

          Hello,

          My topic is mark as solved but i got a new error :

          i have :

          Hello guys,

          i want to use a vertical slider to increase a variable

          void MainWindow::on_verticalSlider_sliderMoved(int position)
          {
              ui->verticalSlider->setRange(1,50);
          z++;
          }
          

          but as i didn't expected, is that whenever the slider moove he will increment the variable z.

          But i want that the slider decrease the variable z when he go down.
          and increase when he go up !

          thanks for your help

          void MainWindow::on_verticalSlider_sliderMoved(int position)
          {
          ui->verticalSlider->setRange(1,50);
          z++;
          }

          Well you definitely don't need to call setRange more than once on a slider. So remove that line.

          Then what you need is:

          void MainWindow::on_verticalSlider_sliderMoved(int position)
          {
             z = position;
          }
          

          Edit: @SGaist beat me to it. ;)

              What exactly do you want to do with z ?

              What is your goals ?

              That would help us understand what you are trying to achieve.

                I have a slider who determine the value of "z"

                i thought use a setrange for the slider (1 to 50)

                Like if the vertical slider is at the bottom, the value of z will be 1
                and if the slider is at the top the value of z will be 50

                  Call setRange in your MainWindow constructor.

                      That line: ui->verticalSlider->setRange(1,50); you should call it in the MainWindow constructor.

                      And since you are using a Designer based interface you can also set the min and max values in Designer and avoid the setRange call.

                        i keep it ?

                        Sorry but even the "main constructor" it's the .cpp ? or .h ?

                          Well... Yes if you use it somewhere else.

                              Where exactly ? Depending on that, there's not even a need for z. You can get the value directly from the slider.

                                    @Payx said in Vertical slider again:

                                    It depends where i use my "z" ?

                                    How ?

                                    What do you use z for? Also side note, that's a horrible name for a variable locally much less one that is used at a class or global level.

                                    What @SGaist is saying is you can always get the value of the slider from the slider itself without saving it to a variable. The function ui->verticalSlider->sliderPosition() will always contain the same value that your z would.

                                    So with that in mind you can get rid of that whole overridden function and just call sliderPosition() when you need the value.
