is a low-level box construct that represents a slider with setting x in the range 0 to 1.

SliderBox[Dynamic[x]]

takes the setting to be the dynamically updated current value of x, with the value of x being reset if the slider is moved.

✖

SliderBox[x,{x_min,x_max}]

represents a slider with range x_min to x_max.

✖

SliderBox[x,{x_min,x_max,dx}]

represents a slider that jumps in steps dx.

✖

SliderBox[x,{{e₁,e₂,…}}]

represents a slider in which equally spaced intervals correspond to successive settings e_i.

✖

SliderBox[x,{{{e₁,w₁},{e₂,w₂},…}}]

uses intervals of relative widths w_i for the e_i.

Details and Options

SliderBox is generated as the low-level representation of Slider. Except for low-level notebook expression manipulation, SliderBox should not need to be used directly.
The following options can be given:

	Appearance	{Automatic,Automatic,"Normal",Automatic}	appearance of the slider
	AutoAction	False	whether to change the slider automatically when the mouse is over it
	Background	Automatic	background color
	BaselinePosition	Automatic	what to align with a surrounding text baseline
	BaseStyle	{}	base style specifications
	ContinuousAction	True	whether to update continuously when the slider is moved
	Enabled	Automatic	whether the slider is enabled or grayed out
	Exclusions	{}	specific values to be excluded
	ImageMargins	Automatic	margins around the image of the displayed slider
	ImageSize	Automatic	the overall image size of the displayed slider

x_min, x_max and dx must be machine-sized integers or reals. »
