HOW TO CREAT SLIDERS?(PLEASE HELP)
Hey1
i have to craet three sliders (in three differet panels)so that when i get the current date the three sliders are set in a way that Year slider matches the current year,the monthe slider matchs the current month and the date slider matches the current date.
If some body could give me a start by telling me how to make a slider and how to devide it (like for months i have to devide it in to 12 devisions),i am sure i will be able to do the rest of it............(unfortunately i don't have a book either so please help me ,,,,)
THANKS A LOT!
