Slider Controls and Styles

A slider control, also known as a trackbar, contains a slider that the user moves with either the mouse or the direction keys. The control sends notification messages indicating the change. Slider controls can be used to select a discrete value or a set of consecutive values in a range.
In addition to the window styles that apply to the common controls, there are styles specific to each new common control.

Slider Control Styles
TBS_HORIZ	Orients the slider horizontally (default style).
TBS_VERT	Orients the slider vertically.
TBS_NOTICKS	Displays a slider without tick marks.
TBS_ENABLESELRANGE	Displays a selection range. When a slider has this style, the tick marks at the starting and ending positions of a selection range are displayed as triangles (instead of vertical dashes) and the selection range is highlighted.
TBS_AUTOTICKS	Displays a slider with a tick mark for each increment in its range of values; marks are added automatically when SetRange() is called.
TBS_BOTH	Displays tick marks on both sides of the slider.
TBS_TOP	Displays tick marks on top of a horizontal slider.
TBS_BOTTOM	Displays tick marks on bottom of a horizontal slider.
TBS_RIGHT	Displays tick marks on the right of a vertical slider.
TBS_LEFT	Displays tick marks on the left of a vertical slider.
