The slider may allow a continuous range of values between its minimum and maximum values, or it may be restricted to values at concrete intervals between the minimum and maximum value. It may show tick marks at specified intervals along the track. These tick marks are independent of the allowed values of the slider. It may also use a data tip to display its current value.
The VSlider has a vertical orientation. The slider track stretches from bottom to top, and the labels and tick marks are placed to the left or right of the track.
The VSlider control has the following default characteristics:
| Characteristic | Description |
|---|---|
| Default size | 250 pixels high, wide enough to hold the slider and any associated labels |
| Minimum size | None |
| Maximum size | None |
