Getting bar bounds (LinearSkin) for custom event listener

[MichalHe]

Is there a way to get bar bounds when using LinearSkin for custom event listener?

[HanSolo]

Nope there is currently no way to do that. Because I have to implement it in the main model which is used by all gauges I would only do that if it really makes sense for other skins too.
What do you plan to do with the event?

[MichalHe]

set Value of gauge by x coords
can you provide the factor which is used to calculate bar beginning from start?

[HanSolo]

So you mean moving the bar by mouse?

[MichalHe]

exactly my plan,
I have already written simmilar function for normal non-linear gauges, where the knob is in the center.

[HanSolo]

ok...let me think about that...

[HanSolo]

I thought about it but this seems to be more a non standard use-case which means my advice would be to fork the LinearSkin and create your own skin that does what you need. To me it does not make sense to add that functionality to the default LinearSkin...sorry :)
