Texture for RangeSlider

Hello. I am trying to make a display child window that has all of the TGUI widgets. The widgets are using a modified version of black.txt. The texture atlas is my own custom drawn png. The issue I am having is with RangeSlider. There does not seem to be a way to load textures for the space between the two thumbs.

RangeSlider is inherited from Slider, but the object properties (that we set in a theme file or setters) are not available.
In other words I can not set the RangeSlider to display textures (available to Sliders) and the color values in the RangeSlider renderer.

RangeSlider {


/*
TextureTrack      = "GUI.png" Part(245, 45, 26, 26) Middle(6, 6, 14, 14);
    //TextureTrackHover = "GUI.png" Part(297, 45, 26, 26) Middle(2, 2, 22, 22);
    TextureThumb      = "GUI.png" Part(350, 45, 26, 26) Middle(2, 2, 22, 22) Smooth;
TextureThumbHover = "GUI.png" Part(375, 45, 26, 26) Middle(2, 2, 22, 22) Smooth;
//SelectedTrack     = "GUI.png" Part(297, 45, 26, 26) Middle(2, 2, 22, 22);
*/

SelectedTrackColor = rgb(190, 0, 0, 100);
SelectedTrackColorHover = rgb(0,190, 0, 100);
}


RangeSlider is inherited from Slider

It actually doesn't, it just contains mostly the same code.

I can not set the RangeSlider to display textures (available to Sliders)

What exactly doesn't work? Do you get an error or does is just not show the textures?

I just tried loading the black theme and using the Slider section to create the RangeSlider like below and it worked (it's not recommended to use a section of a wrong type, but it works here because they do support the same properties).

There does not seem to be a way to load textures for the space between the two thumbs.

This indeed seems to be missing.
There are 2 ways this could be implemented though. You could have a texture that has the same size as the track and of which only a part is shows (similarly to how the front image in ProgressBar works), or you could have a small texture with the same height as the track which is stretched horizontally to fill the selected area. I guess the first one would be the better option because it can handle rounded corners on the track or other special cases.

I meant that RangeSliderRenderer is inherited from SliderRenderer; At least that's what it looks like in the documentation's UML diagram. I would expect then that a RangeSliderRenderer would have all the properties of a SliderRenderer.

What exactly doesn't work? Do you get an error or does is just not show the textures?

I can not display the RangeSlider that shows my textures and changes the color or texture between the two thumbs. I will post a screenshot.

 

I think I finally understood what you mean. When textures are loaded, nothing extra is shown inbetween the two thumbs.
I'll try to fix this soon (in TGUI 0.9-dev).

Edit: I've already fixed the SelectedTrackColor property, it should work now even when textures are loaded. I'll look into adding a new SelectedTrackTexture property later.

Edit2: TextureSelectedTrack and TextureSelectedTrackHover properties have been added to RangeSliderRenderer.
