Ok I'm trying to figure out a good way to calculate the size of the slider for my Windows functions. the way i'm doing it is you input the number of "Positions" you havei n the slider and the height. but i don't know how to calculate it with those to things. anyone have any ideas?

input positions
input height
interval = height/positions

You mean like that?

Then you can just draw at each interval.

mcz = mousemovez() :`Scroll wheel
if mcz > interval then inc bar_pos,mcz/positions

Is that what you mean?

I'll see if I can throw something together for fun.

That's what they WANT you to think...

Ah, I see what you mean. That would have to do with how big the "page" is. What I'm doing in my example for drawing the bar is having the y be like:

box 200,BOX_POS*INTERVAL,220,BOX_POS*INTERVAL+INTERVAL

So I have the length of the bar a single interval length.

That's what they WANT you to think...

hmmm that would work exept what if the interval was tiny? like you had tones of positions? like i figured it (assuming the size of each line in darkedit is 20 pixels) it's about 25650 pixels tall for my 1283 line code. i have a 580 tall area for the slider. that makes each interval 0.23 pixels tall. i don't actually think me or anyone using these function would need that much but still what if someone did? that would be (if you made it a integer) i think it wouldn't work actually cuz with int() function it would round down to zero wouldn't it? lol

oh and btw the size ofthe slider bar in dark edit was the size of 69.blablabla intervals lol i will probly use what you said for now until i find something that will work a little better.

I did it for the Challenge a challenge or two ago. I believe I used percentages. So if a full screen was 1/3 of the total size, then the bar is 1/3 the screen. Make sense?
