Quoting Loic Simon <[email protected]>:
Hi all,

Maybe, instead of changing the max of the slider programatically, one could
instead set a higher priority on the textbox over the slider. That would
mean that if the user chooses the slider, then the behaviour would remain
unchanged. But if the user chooses to enter a value directly in the text
box, then this value would not be overridden by the sliders settings. I
don't know if that is hard to set up but at least I don't find it confusing.

Hi Loïc,
the main control is the slider and the textbox is only for convenience. Therefore, all restrictions come from the slider and also the final value sent to the algorithm.

Then, if we want to give priority to the textbox we have to programmatically change the slider parameters. If we need that the value in the textbox is taken into account even if outside the range of the slider, then we have to change the min and max of the slider when we detect that its value is out of range.

This way, if the slider goes, say, from 10 to 50 and the user writes 80 in the textbox, the slider would adapt itself to range from 10 to 80.

This should not be very difficult to do, but my concern is again that if we allow this, then we can end up with experiments that don't really make sense.

I don't know if this is something that we really need. If we decide that we should allow users to enter any value the want, we can change the slider code for all demos.

Best,
Miguel
