Hello everybody

I have a request regarding APP DEVELOPER controls. I am making a remote control for an audio application.
I am using liner slider to set the volumes.But I need something that is visually more modern.

Is it possible to create a component or have the template to modify the graphics?

Attached are some examples of what I would like to achieve

Kind Regards

Coincidentally, I have been working on the 2d-only controls for Flowcode like the slider and this is now more customisable. So you can specify the colours or gradient fills for the various parts, and you can even specify a background image for the slider control.

Unfortunately, this is at a development stage and I don't know when it will be released. It is intended for the next major version of Flowcode (v10), but we might not be able to resist releasing these new controls earlier, so it might be ready in a few months as part of a v9 update. No promises though, so watch this space...

Hello Oscar,

What you described can be done in flowcode at the moment, you can do it all using the panel primitives and building them up into a component.

We have video tutorials on things like mouse interaction and that should really be the most difficult bit. There is a marking control component that will do graduations like a ruler for your slider.

Let us know if you fancy having a go and if you have any problems.

Hi Ben

I have successfully implemented mouse control thanks to your example so I think with a little help I can do it.

I saw then that you already have a similar slider (for example in the simulation debugger)

The project is quite simple.

We have a small sound card that we need to control via the serial port. Through the app developer I am building the control panel.
