I have a strange issue with slider control. If I set the preferred width it gives decimal value, If I remove the width "works" fine!!!!!! Any idea why is this happening? You also have the same issue or it's just me?

Thank you in advance!!!

var slider1 = group1.add("slider");
slider1.minvalue = 0;
slider1.maxvalue = 100;
slider1.value = 0;
slider1.preferredSize.width = 195;
slider1.preferredSize.height = 15;
slider1.onChanging = function(){edittext2.text = this.value;};

Interesting, in ExtendScript it just increments in integers, Photoshop shows decimal points.

This can be got around by:-

var w = new Window("dialog","test",undefined,{closeButton: true});  

var group1 = w.add("group");

var slider1 = group1.add("slider");

slider1.minvalue = 0;

slider1.maxvalue = 100;

slider1.value = 0;

slider1.preferredSize.width = 195;

slider1.preferredSize.height = 15;

var edittext2 = group1.add("edittext",undefined,"0");

edittext2.preferredSize=[50,20];

slider1.onChanging = function(){edittext2.text = this.value.toFixed(0);};

w.show();

Actually the correct answer is to use 'length' instead of 'width'.

Instead of slider1.preferredSize.width? How?

Yes. Then .toFixed(0) workaround won't be needed.
