Have a volumebar not do anything when clicked

[scottw]

I want to add a volumebar for winamp to just display the current volume in a slider but not change when clicked. There are other buttons close to the volumebar and I don't want anyone accidentally clicking in the middle of the bar and increasing the volume. I tried adding an invisible button over top of the bar but it still changes when clicked.

Am I missing something or can this not be done?

Thanks,

I may be way off base and completely read your post wrong but couldnt you just take the tick out of the navigation box on ur volume bar?

The problem with that is if your using a touchscreen, navigation doesn't matter. Most times if you place a button behind an image of some sort, it won't trigger events, but it would appear that the volumebar...since it is hardcoded, behaves differently.

Thanks guys I just wanted make sure I was not crazy and missing something. Let me know if you come up with anything.

Why not just use some text to display the current volume. Like this:

audioplayer>%volume%

Thanks Phil,

I did do this at first but loved the way the bar looked so much better but this may be the way I go.

Thanks again!!!

Have you also tried just placing a rectangle in front of the bar and setting it transparency to 0? It sounds like someone actually tried that but I have not....

I have put an "invisible" button on top and cover the whole bar and it did not work but I have not tried a rectangle. I will try but doubt it will work but thanks for the suggestion.

I suggest you add a button in front of it but the graphic you use for the button should be a transparent png image. DO NOT make the button 'invisible' as it can't be activated if it is invisible, you actually want the user to click the transparent button but nothing to happen when this is done.

Thanks for the suggestions guys but none of these work.

Phil,
I tried the rectangle, made sure it was in the front and even tried assigning an event to it and when clicked it would adjust the volume and trigger the event.

M_ski,

By invisible button, I meant a transparent png, sorry about the confusion.
Thanks for trying!!!


Any other ideas???
