Slide controls implementation

Hi,

if I understand correctly, TouchGFX does not support sliders. What is the simplest and safest way to implement them for a newbie to the ST ecosystem and tools?

More specifically two types: scrollbars (of a text window) and date-picker wheel.

As a side note/curiosity, are there any plans for TouchGFX to implement those controls?

Thank you :)

Hello @Ricko,

To be honest, I am very confused by your statement. There is a Slider Widget already available in the TouchGFX designer. Scrollbar is not available as a standalone; however, it is supported in the Scrollable Container.

Please refer to this forum post to find examples of date-picker.

I hope this helps you!

Thank you Mohammad,

you are right, very stupily I assumed that what a couple of colleagues of mine (who are trying to get me to go back to Microchip) told me was correct. Because I was travelling and in a rush (and under a tight timeline) I posted before checking myself, which I always do (and could have Googled it anyway).

Apologies and thank you. :)
