Slider with detents?
-
I've got a request to have sliders with "detent" positions. Not sure if this is the best term, so here's the idea: say you have a slider that goes from -1 to 1, and you want the user to be able to reliably hit the "0" position, by making the slider knob/button "stick" somewhat to that middle point, as he is sliding close to that point.
I don't see anything in the way of Qt API or stylesheets that can be used to make this work. Any clever ideas, short of writing a new slider subclass (or if someone has done that work, lemme know)?
Thanks!

maybe you'd like to implement your own QYourSlider::mouseReleaseEvent() where you convert cursor position to slider value and if its value is within the range around your 'quantized' values, set slider position to it.
