Hello everyone,
I need to add a slider (trackbar) to a menu, and use-it to select one of the options (something like Change View button in Win7's Explorer - helps to select Tile, Details, List, Small Icons ..... Large Icons). It;s there way to do this ?
I'm pretty sure that's not a standard menu.
I think they are just creating a custom window and make it look and behave like a menu.
And since it's a custom window, you can add any controls to it as you wish.
i was thinking the same thing. if you look careful the selection rect has a different color than the standard menu items, but i wanted to check that i'm on the right track.
one more question: anyone has idea how to make an slider like that ? that snaps only to some of the values ? my idea is to handle the WM_MOUSEMOVE or WM_VSCROLL and TB_THUMBTRACK, but i don't know which is the right approach. It;s there a way to be notified before the slider is moved ?
