Sliders
On Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs, a slider control is used to set or adjust values within a range.
When you include sliders in your application, use the following guidelines:
- Generally, static text, graphics, or other information is added to the control to communicate the purpose of the slider and what the beginning and ending values of the range represent.
- The control supports both horizontal and vertical orientation.

Label Attributes
For slider labels on a Windows Mobile–based Pocket PC, use the 9pt Tahoma black font and sentence capitalization.
Development Considerations
Consider the following development conditions when you include slider controls in an application:
- Sliders do not include their own label, so use a static text field to create one.
- Sliders support both horizontal and vertical orientation.
- You can add text and graphics to help the user interpret the scale and range of the control.
