Zoom Slider widget

The Zoom Slider widget provides a way to add zoom action control to a Px page video camera interface. This widget looks similar to a typical scroll bar and is designed to fit along one of the four bounding edges of a Live Video Player widget. The Zoom Slider widget is available from the videoDriver palette and you can drag it directly from the palette onto a Px page, as shown in Figure 38. After placing it on the Px page, drag the widget boundaries to adjust the size, position, and orientation, as desired.

The speed of the zoom is controlled by how far up or down you move the icon and is indicated by the color changes in the zoom bar, shown in Video Playback view (Playback Viewer) and described in Video indicators.

NoteCamera controls do not operate unless they are Enabled. Each of these controls must be enabled by selecting the option box for each control under the PTZ Support property on the camera property sheet. The default setting for these controls is Disabled (or, not selected).
