Control Properties - Range Tab
Definition
This tab is used to define the range of value for a number of controls: gauge, horizontal and vertical slider, progress bar and spinner.
Use
Using the Minimum and Maximum lists, you define the value range, along with an optional Step size value (precision). Sliders and gauges must be bound on both sides (specifying both Minimum and Maximum), while spinners can be bound on one or both sides (specifying either Minimum or Maximum or both), or unbound (specifying neither Minimum or Maximum), as described in the table that follows.
You can also choose to add tick marks to the range control.
