SUMMARY
=======
The following paragraph from MFC Technical Note 60 is incomplete.
"Slider Notification Messages
A slider control notifies its parent window of user actions by sending the
parent WM_HSCROLL messages. You can override the parent's OnHScroll member
function to handle these messages. This function will be passed a
notification code, the position of the slider, and a pointer to the
CSliderCtrl object. Note that the pointer is of type CScrollBar* even though
it points to a CSliderCtrl object. You may need to typecast this pointer if
you need to manipulate the slider control."
This information is true only for a HORIZONTAL slider control (a trackbar with
the TBS_HORZ style). For a VERTICAL slider control (a trackbar with the
TBS_VERT style), the WM_VSCROLL will be sent instead of the WM_HSCROLL
message. You should override the parent's OnVScroll() member function to
handle these messages.
In Visual C++, versions 5.0 and later, the above text is part of the help topic
titled "Slider Control Notification Messages."
MORE INFORMATION
================
The correct documentation can be found from the Trackbar Notification Messages
in Win32 SDK of Visual C++ 4.x Books Online.
A vertical slider control is used in the FIRE sample program. However, in the
sample OnHScroll() was overridden instead of OnVScroll(). Therefore, the code in
OnHScroll() (intended for the vertical slider control) will not be executed when
running this sample. Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the sample in
Visual C++ 4.0. To fix this problem with FIRE, replace the OnHScroll() handler
with an OnVScroll() handler. This problem was corrected in Visual C++ 4.1.
