QSlider mouse direct jump

Question

Instead of stepping when the user clicks somewhere on the qslider I want to make the slider jump to that position. How can this be implemented ?

Answer 1

This modification to the JumpSlider above works in PyQt5:

class JumpSlider(QSlider):
    def _FixPositionToInterval(self,ev):
        """ Function to force the slider position to be on tick locations """

        # Get the value from the slider
        Value=QStyle.sliderValueFromPosition(self.minimum(), self.maximum(), ev.x(), self.width())

        # Get the desired tick interval from the slider
        TickInterval=self.tickInterval()

        # Convert the value to be only at the tick interval locations
        Value=round(Value/TickInterval)*TickInterval

        # Set the position of the slider based on the interval position
        self.setValue(Value)

    def mousePressEvent(self, ev):
        self._FixPositionToInterval(ev)

    def mouseMoveEvent(self, ev):
        self._FixPositionToInterval(ev)
