PythonWin,Slider control....

[Mike Fletcher]

Well, here's an example, doesn't do anything (I just ripped it out of one of
my projects, replacing an OLE control with the slider and calling the
CreateWindow method instead of CreateControl.

*Mark* The docs for win32ui.CreateSliderCtrl for some reason say to use
PySliderCtrl::Create which doesn't exist.  The docs for PySliderCtrl
correctly name the creation function as CreateWindow (though why it's
different from the OLE control I do not know).  Feel free to include the
(rather trivial) demo below if you would like to do so.

Cheers, and hope this helps,
Mike

(There are wrapping problems in the code, but you should be able to figure
those out :) )...

Has anyone managed to generate a window with a slider control in PythonWin
using
CreateSliderCtrl in win32ui? I can't seem to get it to work.

TIA
