Oh, where:

range = max_slider_value - min_slider_value;
fineGrain = 0.125;

Hi,

I am using the following two methods for a scrolling number box which is essentially a slider in the form of a NSTextField subclass. I have yet to implement this for my custom sliders but maybe this is a good starting point for you? When I first dabbled with custom sliders all I did was override the mouseUp, mouseDown, mouseDragged methods etc now my custom sliders are subclasses of NSControl rather than NSSlider.

-(void)mouseUp:(NSEvent*)theEvent
{
	if(drag) drag = NO;
}

-(void)mouseDragged:(NSEvent*)theEvent
{
float val = [self floatValue];

if(!drag) {
// float start_x = [self convertPoint: [theEvent locationInWindow] fromView: nil].x;
start_y = [self convertPoint:[theEvent locationInWindow] fromView: nil].y;
prev_y = start_y;
drag = YES;
};

// key modifier key flags
unsigned int flags;
flags = [theEvent modifierFlags];

float next_y = [self convertPoint:[theEvent locationInWindow] fromView: nil].y;
float deltaY = (next_y - prev_y) / dragSize;
prev_y = next_y;

if(flags & NSAlternateKeyMask) deltaY *= fineGrain;
val += range * deltaY;

[self checkBounds:&val];
[self setFloatValue:val];

// continuously send the action
[self sendAction:(SEL)[self action] to:(id)[self target]];
}


Hope that helps,
Stephen

I am employing an NSSliderCell in my table view, and I want to slow down the rate of change or increase the resolution of change using a modifier key like commands as I drag. This is employed in a few audio programs to assist a mixer in fine tuning either volume or pan when mixing. Where do I start? I have bound my NSSliderCell to a NSNumber in my NSObjectController. Can anyone think of a way that I could modify the delta of change? Would I have to do this using a NSSliderCell subclass? Any thoughts?

Just an idea. (not tested at all)
A possibility may be to override setDoubleValue: or whatever is used to set the cell value, and check if the current event ([NSApp currentEvent]) is a drag with ctrl down, and if this is the case compute the delta between the current value and the new value and reduce it proportionally before calling the super implementation.
