MTrackBar

About component

Track-bars allow users to make selections from a range of values.

What has changed?

Track-bar was redesigned for better user experience on touch capable devices. Themes, accent and some nice animations were added.

How to use it?

Like other controls, MTrackBar can be simply droped from toolbox on the form. If you are not using IDE with integrated form designer (like Visual Studio), you can always create a track-bar programmatically:

// Initialize track-bar first
MTrackBar trackBar = new MTrackBar();

// Set location
trackBar.Location = new Point(50, 50);

// Don't forget to add our newly created
// track-bar to form's control collection.
targetForm.Controls.Add(trackBar);

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Minimal.Components;

namespace Demo
{
    public partial class MyForm : Form
    {
        // Initialize track-bar first
        MTrackBar trackBar = new MTrackBar();

        // Form constructor
        public MyForm()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            // Set size and location
            trackBar.Location = new Point(50, 50);

            // Don't forget to add our newly created
            // track-bar to form's control collection.
            Controls.Add(trackBar);
        }
    }
}

Code example asumes, that targetForm variable is form where you want to have your color-box placed. If you are working inside a class derived from System.Windows.Forms.Form, you can of course replace targetForm variable with this keyword or in latest version of C# omit form reference completely. See second example above.
