Slider Control with Tick Labels

01-13-2009 12:33 PM |

 How can I create a slider control which displays a label at each major step along the axis?  I know the hack solution is just to create a separate row of textblocks, but that has issues of sizing and placement.  The specific example is a map slider that has 4 steps, each one corresponding to a different specific zoom level - state, county, city and street.

thanks in advance for the help!

Good question.  Telerik's RAD control suite has a slider control that seems to implement a lot of missing functionality from the out-of-box slider control has in Silverlight2.

I stumbled upon this thread in search of a similar solution.  Basically I think we will have to play with SL's content template to try and get tick marks to appear and function appropriately in SL's slider control.

Hope this helps someone else thinking that SL's slider has tick marks, snap to tick/hard-stops, etc. out of the box via properties...it doesn't.
