Slider

A slider provides a visual indication of adjustable content, as well as the current setting in the total range of content.

Use a slider when you want people to set defined values (such as volume or brightness), or when people would benefit from instant feedback on the effect of setting changes.

Slider with on_change event​

import flet as ft

def main(page):

    def slider_changed(e):
        t.value = f"Slider changed to {e.control.value}"
        page.update()

    t = ft.Text()
    page.add(
        ft.Text("Slider with 'on_change' event:"),
        ft.Slider(min=0, max=100, divisions=10, label="{value}%", on_change=slider_changed), t)

Properties​

active_color​

The color to use for the portion of the slider track that is active.

The "active" side of the slider is the side between the thumb and the minimum value.

adaptive​

If the value is True, an adaptive Slider is created based on whether the target platform is iOS or macOS.

On iOS and macOS, a CupertinoSlider, which has matching functionality and presentation as Slider, and are the graphics expected on iOS. On other platforms, this creates a Material Slider.

The default value is False.

autofocus​

True if the control will be selected as the initial focus. If there is more than one control on a page with autofocus set, then the first one added to the page will get focus.

divisions​

The number of discrete divisions.

Typically used with label to show the current discrete value.

If not set, the slider is continuous.

inactive_color​

The color for the inactive portion of the slider track.

The "inactive" side of the slider is the side between the thumb and the maximum value.

interaction​

The allowed way for the user to interact with this slider. Value is a SliderInteraction enum, which has the following possible values:

  • TAP_AND_SLIDE(default) - allows interaction by tapping or sliding anywhere on the track
  • TAP_ONLY - allows interaction only by tapping anywhere on the track
  • SLIDE_ONLY - allows interaction only by sliding anywhere on the track
  • SLIDE_THUMB - allows interaction only by sliding the thumb.

label​

Format with {value}.

A label to show above the slider when the slider is active. The value of label may contain {value} which will be replaced with a current slider value.

It is used to display the value of a discrete slider, and it is displayed as part of the value indicator shape.

If not set, then the value indicator will not be displayed.

max​

The maximum value the user can select.

Defaults to 1.0. Must be greater than or equal to min.

If the max is equal to the min, then the slider is disabled.

min​

The minimum value the user can select.

Defaults to 0.0. Must be less than or equal to max.

If the max is equal to the min, then the slider is disabled.

mouse_cursor​

The cursor to be displayed when a mouse pointer enters or is hovering over this control. The value is MouseCursor enum.

overlay_color​

secondary_active_color​

The color to use for the portion of the slider track between the thumb and the secondary_track_value.

secondary_track_value​

The secondary track value for this slider.

If not null, a secondary track using secondary_active_color is drawn between the thumb and this value, over the inactive track. If less than value, then the secondary track is not shown.

It can be ideal for media scenarios such as showing the buffering progress while the value shows the play progress.
