Regarding Slider in QML

ibia

Your code works properly on my computer. I only noticed that there was a missing " } " ending the slider component.

@ibia okay. Does the slider handle update when u change the slider value to some 50 or other. Because when i check separately only the slider groove is updated, but the handle remains in the same position

ibia

Yes the slider handle updates when I change the value. But to test your code, I replaced the applicationWindow.width with 600.

I think that you should create a new project and put in it only the code above to test your code. I imported QtQuick.Controls and QtQuick.Controls.Styles.

@ibia
I am running it separately only creating new project, but in my case its not updating. i have replaced applicationWindow.width with 300 as shown below.

import QtQuick 2.5
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
import QtQuick.Extras 1.4
import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.4
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4

Window {
    id: root
    visible: true
    width: 640
    height: 480

    Slider {
        id: theSlider

        property alias sliderWidth: theSlider.width
        property alias sliderValue: theSlider.value

        width:300
        maximumValue: 100
        minimumValue: 50
        value:minimumValue
        updateValueWhileDragging : true
        style: SliderStyle {
            groove:  Rectangle {
                id: grooveMainrect
                height: 8
                radius: 5
                color: "#847878"
                Rectangle {
                    id: groovechildrect
                    width: (parent.width * theSlider.value)/theSlider.maximumValue
                    height: parent.height
                    color: Qt.lighter("#7ea6d6", 1.2)
                    radius: parent.radius
                }
            }
            handle: Rectangle {
                id:handlemainrect
                height: 25
                width: 25
                radius: width/2
                color: Qt.lighter("#7ea6d6", 1.2)
                Rectangle {
                    id: handlechildrect
                    width: parent.width/3
                    height: parent.height/3
                    anchors.centerIn: parent
                    color: "#ffffff"
                    radius: width/2
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Can you show a screenshot of the slider ?

Naveen_D

@ibia i am not able to upload the screen shot.

ibia

Sorry! But, you will probably be more difficult to help if we do not have a screenshot of the problem.

@Naveen_D said in Regarding Slider in QML:

@ibia i am not able to upload the screen shot.

what is the reason y u cant upload?. it might help the users to provide looking into it.

Thanks,

Naveen_D

Hi, the issue is resolved( i am not sure), in the code i was assigning the minimum value as the slider value. Instead of giving minimum value as slider value, i changed the slider value separately, it is working fine. the slider handle is updating to the particular value.
Thanks

Hi,

@Naveen_D ,

Good to hear u got the issue resolved, can u please mark the topic as solved, and if u can provide the code snippet, which is working it wiil be helpful for the users in Forum,

Thanks,

Naveen_D

ya sure @Pradeep-Kumar
i just changed the slider value to 50 instead of assigning minimum value.
working code :

    Slider{
        id:theslider
        anchors.centerIn: parent
        maximumValue: 100
        value: 50
        width: 250
        style: SliderStyle {
            groove: Rectangle{
                id: grooveMainrect
                height: 5
                antialiasing: true
                radius: 5
                color: "#847878"
                Rectangle {
                    id: groovechildrect
                    width: (parent.width * theslider.value)/theslider.maximumValue
                    height: parent.height
                    color: Qt.lighter("#7ea6d6", 1.2)
                    radius: parent.radius
                }
            }
            handle: Rectangle{
                id:handlemainrect
                height: (handlechildrect.height/3)+2
                width: (handlechildrect.width/3)+2
                radius: handlechildrect.width/2
                anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
                color: Qt.lighter("#7ea6d6", 1.2)
                Rectangle {
                    id: handlechildrect
                    width: 25
                    height: 25
                    anchors.centerIn: parent
                    color: "#ffffff"
                    radius: width/2
                    opacity: 0.5
                }
            }
        }
    }

Hey dear devs,
I've got a similar problem.
I'm following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMEQji7Rwrg
but, when it comes to the slider-part I'm pretty lost.

My slider doesn't move when I try to customize the handle (otherwise it works fine).
What am I missing here?

import QtQuick 2.0
import QtQuick.Controls 2.15


Slider {
    id: temperatureControlSlider
    value: 25
    from: 16
    to: 35
    stepSize: 1

    orientation: Qt.Vertical

    background: Rectangle{
        height: parent.height
        width: 3
        anchors.centerIn: parent
    }
    handle: Rectangle {

        y: temperatureControlSlider.topPadding + temperatureControlSlider.visualPosition * (temperatureControlSlider.availableHeight - height)
        x: temperatureControlSlider.leftPadding + temperatureControlSlider.availableWidth / 2 - width / 2
        border.color: temperatureControlSlider.pressed ? "green" : "white"
        color: "black"
        border.width: 3
        width: 76
        height: 76
        radius: width / 2
    }
}

Any ideas? :(

Ok I helped myself right now by creating a Rectangle and setting the anchor to the handle.
Then I rendered everything necessary on top.

    Rectangle{
        anchors.centerIn: handle
        z: 1
        width: 76
        height: 76
        radius: width / 2
        border.width: 3
        border.color: temperatureControlSlider.pressed ? "green" : "white"
        color: "black"

    }
    Text{
        anchors.centerIn: handle
        z: 1
        color: "red"
        font.pixelSize: 30
        text: temperatureControlSlider.value
    }
}

It's a bit strange because I found only solutions similar to my previous post. But maybe it's because of Qt6 or so.
You need to grab the handle (which is now "invisible") but yeah. It works x)
