Slider Bar Values

[Ethan List]

What is the purpose of the Slider object/class if one is unable to obtain any values from it? There does not appear to be a getValue() method. Has anybody successfully captured any values from it? If so, how?

[Eric Giguere]

It's not useful. Again, I must reiterate: the kjava classes that come with the CLDC reference implementation are unsupported and incomplete and shouldn't be used for any serious development. You should either roll your own stuff using the low-level graphics calls, use a library that does just that (kAWT being the best example), or else wait for the MIDP and PDAP implementations to show up on the Palm.
