You mean, you're looking for the Slider Class. Why re-invent the wheel? Just declare your own ControlTemplate for it:

<Slider Minimum="0" Maximum="500">
    <Slider.Template>
        <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Slider}">
            <!-- define your ControlTemplate content in here -->
        </ControlTemplate>
    </Slider.Template>
</Slider>

When declaring new ControlTemplates, it always a good idea to start with the default one and slowly makes changes from there. you can find the default Slider ControlTemplate in the Slider Styles and Templates page on MSDN.

You can find out more about the Slider class from the Slider Class page and more about ControlTemplates from the ControlTemplate Class on MSDN.
