About

TrackBar2" is a trackbar component that can be configured in a broad range of different styles (colors, thumb styles, tick styles and so on) and can support either one or two thumb buttons. Where a one-button trackbar is used to define a value, a two-button track bar is useful in defining a range of values between a minimum and a maximum. I use two two-button trackbars (one vertical, one horizontal) do define a rectangular area of interest in a bitmap image.

This component is based on the tDCTrack one-button trackbar written by Doug Gregor and widely available on the internet.

The component has been tested under Windows (2000, XP) only.

The main characteristics of Trackbar2 are :

  • Use one or two thumb buttons.
  • Allows several different thumb button styles.
  • Allows several different tick mark styles.
  • Allows several different placement options for tick marks.
  • Allows different colors for ticks, track bar and thumb buttons.
  • Allows vertical and horizontal orientation.

The download contains the component source and a demo application that illustrates some of the features of the component. I have not included a package since I suspect that most users will want to define their own registration parameters by modifying the registration procedure in the source file.

Here is an exemple of several applications of Trackbar2.
