That's not really what the slider is for: it is to let the user input a
value. Like you see on the Contrast or Brightness dialogs.
Sliders are pretty well documented in the Companion volume of the SDK docs:
see the Controls section of the User Interface section. There isn't much
to them... you just drop them on a form, set the min/max/current values,
and then watch for the events when the user changes the setting.
To do a simple animated display, you'd do better just calling
WinFillRectangle with a steadily increasing width, that all is enclosed in
an unfilled rectangle. Less complexity, and it works on any OS revision...
