But dragging the indicator allows partial decimal positions. I don't know if that matters for your purposes. I created a slider with a label on the left and right in a group. The slider is set to min 0, max 2, inc 1 and it's script is: on scrollbarDrag pNewPosition switch pNewPosition case 0 enable fld "CiC_Label" disable fld "Src_Label" set the tooltip of me to "Text style changes will be applied to CiC only" set the thumbPosition of me to 0 break case 1 enable fld "CiC_Label" enable fld "Src_Label" set the tooltip of me to "Text style changes will be applied to both CiC and Source" set the thumbPosition of me to 1 break case 2 disable fld "CiC_Label" enable fld "Src_Label" set the tooltip of me to "Text style changes will be applied to Source only" set the thumbPosition of me to 2 break end switch end scrollbarDrag The set the thumbPosition forces any attempt at sliding to move to only left, center, and right positions. When left, the left label is enabled, the right label is disabled, and the tooltip for the slider reflects the choice. When right, the right label is enabled, left label disabled and the tooltip updated. When center, both labels are enabled and the tool tip updated. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: 3-way slider control
Yea, I know I can make my own custom controls and have on numerous occasions. I *MUCH* prefer to use existing controls as I dislike UI coding. To me it is the most tedious part of app development. This google search shows (at least the majority of initial images) a bunch of 2-position on/off switches that are often circular or squares "thumbs" in a oval or rectangular "switch". I was looking for something like that (or LC's switch widget) but with 3 positions. https://www.google.com/search?q=sliding+switch+icons=isch=2ahUKEwiR6vXFyuXwAhU517sIHfbeA-kQ2-cCegQIABAA=sliding+switch+icons_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzoGCAAQBxAeOggIABAIEAcQHlCFMFijOWC_PWgAcAB4AIABnwGIAeEIkgEDMC44mAEAoAEBqgELZ3dzLXdpei1pbWfAAQE=img=BFKtYJHYH7mu7_UP9r2PyA4=910=1920 Regardless, I have decided to use a standard LC slider set to -1,0,+1 with some labels grouped to it. It works like a charm and minimizes the number of graphics/objects and code.

You can do this with LC's built-in horizontal scrollbar. Drag a Slider control to the card. Set the start value to 1 and the end value to 3. By default there will be numbers displayed but you can turn those off and use labels underneath instead. Put this script into the slider. It should make the slider snap to one of the three positions: on scrollBarDrag set the thumbPos of me to the thumbpos of me mod(4) end scrollBarDrag If you want to change the color, use an effects overlay. None of the built-in color properties apply. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: 3-way slider control
Hi Paul, Grab a horizontal slider control. Set the start position to -1 Set the end position to +1 Set the current position to 0 Make it any length you want. If you try clicking on a 1/4 setting it will spring to the next value, giving it the left middle and right positions you want. Let me know if that works well enough for you.
