== Example ==

<code>

ctl[0]: SLIDER, Text="bottom, ticks", Val=rnd(0,255), FontColor=Blue

ctl[1]: SLIDER(noticks), Text="bottom, noticks", Divisor=10, Val=rnd(0,255)

ctl[2]: SLIDER(top, noticks), Text="top, noticks", Val=rnd(0,255), NoEditBorder, EditStyleEx=staticedge

ctl[3]: SLIDER(both, noticks), Text="both, noticks", Val=rnd(0,255)

ctl[4]: SLIDER(enableselrange, noticks), Text="enableselrange, noticks", Size=(90,12), Val=rnd(0,255), NoEditBorder, EditStyleEx=clientedge

ctl[5]: SLIDER(enableselrange, both, noticks), Text="enableselrange, both, noticks", Size=(90,12), Val=rnd(0,255)

ctl[6]: SLIDER(both, noticks), Text="larger, both, noticks", Size=(90,12), Val=rnd(0,255)

ctl[7]: SLIDER(top, noticks), Text="larger, top, noticks", Size=(90,12), Val=rnd(0,255)

</code>

== Notes ==

:It is best to set the Range before setting the Val. If the Val is set first, it might be clipped by the default Range (0,255) before your custom Range is set. If you set the Range first, you can set Val to any value within that range.
