A complete example of how to use xbmcgui.ControlSl

Question

Is it me or there is no example of how to use xbmcgui.ControlSlider? I have this code:

    self.mediaPath=os.path.join(addon.getAddonInfo('path'),'resources','media') + '/'
    self.slider = xbmcgui.ControlSlider(19, 415, 1242, 130,self.mediaPath + 'tran.png',self.mediaPath + 'poser.png',self.mediaPath + 'poser.png')
    self.addControl(self.slider)

But I can't find how to detect slider actions.

class xbmcgui.ControlSlider(x, y, width, height, textureback=None, texture=None, texturefocus=None, orientation=VERTICAL)

Bases: xbmcgui.Control

ControlSlider class.

Creates a slider.

Parameters:

• x – integer – x coordinate of control.
• y – integer – y coordinate of control.
• width – integer – width of control.
• height – integer – height of control.
• textureback – string – image filename.
• texture – string – image filename.
• texturefocus – string – image filename.
• orientation – int – orientation of the slider

Notes: By default a ControlSlider has vertical orientation.

After you create the control, you need to add it to the window with addControl().

Example:

self.slider = xbmcgui.ControlSlider(100, 250, 350, 40)

Methods:

getPercent()

Returns a float of the percent of the slider.

Example:

self.slider = xbmcgui.ControlSlider(100, 250, 350, 40)
percent = self.slider.getPercent()

setPercent(percent)

Sets the percent of the slider.

Parameters: percent – float – slider % value

Example:

self.slider = xbmcgui.ControlSlider(100, 250, 350, 40)
percent = self.slider.setPercent(20)
