CDEFs (of which the Rad Slider control is) are interpreted as buttons once they 
are created, rather than user items. It is possible to stuff a button number 
into the control's refCon and then respond to it as if it were a button.

For the CDEFs that I use in my programs within PG, I have written uCods that 
draw the control right within PG, and allow the user to specify (in the User 
Object dialog) the necessary values, such as current (i.e., default) value--one 
of the gObjUser# is used for the FB button number.

What I typically do is the following:

in the program (each of the CDEFs I use puts a .FLTR in auomatically)
in the _otherUserInit section of the .FLTR I create the control (usually via the
toolbox FN NewControl), and in here I set the refCon to be the FB button number:

CHndl& = FN NewControl(wndPtr&, gObjT, title$, _false, ctrlVal, 1, ctrlMax, 
cdefProcID, 0)
LONG IF (CHndl&)
    rfCon& = FN GETCREFCON(CHndl&)
    ' in this case, gObjUser3 is the button number
    rfCon& = ((rfCon& AND &FFFF0000) OR (gObjUser3 << 16)) 
    CALL SETCREFCON(CHndl&, rfCon&)
END IF

Then, in your window.FLTR or wherever you check for button clicks, you can react
accordingly just as if an FB button was pressed. You might also be able to use 
FB's BUTTON statement to create the control to begin with.

I have a project setup in Program Generator that I'd like to use 
Rad-Sliders with. The sliders are working fine except for one thing, I'd 
like to be able to update what the sliders control as soon as someone has 
changed the slider.

It seems simple enough, just watch for an event of _otherUserClick. But 
they never come, for some reason a click and move or just a click on the 
slider never generates an event of _otherUserClick.

I've got Rad-Sliders 1.1, is there anything I'm missing or is this the way 
it is? Are There any other options that would work?

Thanks for the help
mike
