JavaFX provides a class known as Slider, this represents a slider component that displays a continuous range of values. This contains a track on which the numerical values are displayed. Along the track, there is a thumb pointing to the numbers. You can provide the maximum, minimum and initial values of the slider.
To create a slider you need to instantiate the Slider class, set the required properties and, add it to the scene.
Example
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.geometry.Insets;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Slider;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class SliderExample extends Application {
public void start(Stage stage) {
//Setting the slider
Slider slider = new Slider(0, 500, 0);
slider.setShowTickLabels(true);
slider.setShowTickMarks(true);
slider.setMajorTickUnit(100);
slider.setBlockIncrement(50);
//Creating a VBox
VBox vbox = new VBox();
vbox.setPadding(new Insets(50, 50, 50, 50 ));
vbox.setSpacing(150);
vbox.getChildren().addAll(slider);
//Preparing the scene
Scene scene = new Scene(vbox, 595, 150);
stage.setTitle("Slider Example");
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
}
public static void main(String args[]){
launch(args);
}
}Output:
