Osamu Shigematsu asked: >I'm looking for an MDEF of slider like Sound Volume Control Strip. >Is there anybody who had done that work? Osamu, In addition to Robert's suggestion, you could use Appearance Manager's built-in slider. One advantage is that it is compliant with Appearance Themes. Varying the height and width of the slider automatically determines if it will appear horizontal or vertical. Also, there are built-in variations in case you need tick marks or live scrolling. Here is a quick sample of code that you may find useful.
