Vertical Sliders in Windows

[DBarranca]

Hi, can someone please tell me what is the last Photoshop version on Windows which does not support vertical sliders?

E.g.

var w = new Window("dialog");
w.s = w.add ("slider", [0,0,20,100]); 
w.show();

Thank you,

Davide

Taken from Peter Kahrel ScriptUI indenpendent documentation:

"On Macs, but not on Windows, you can create a vertical slider simply by setting its width to a smaller value than its height:"

var w = new Window ("dialog");
var slider = w.add ("slider", undefined, 0, 100);
slider.size = "width: 30, height: 300";
w.show ();

CS5 does not support

Thanks pixxxel schubser​, can you please confirm whether CS6 instead works fine with them, or what is the oldest version that supports them? I only have CC 2017 on Win10 virtualized with Parallels, and would rather prefer not to clog the virtual machine with the whole suite of versions, from CS6 up.

Kukurykus​, Peter Kahrel targets chiefly InDesign – I've attached an image of PS CC 2017 from Windows, which proves vertical sliders work 🙂 BTW I've got in touch with him, and he confirms that it's a Photoshop-only thing (Win ID still doesn't support them). I logged that feature request in the past years, and I haven't discovered but very recently (this night) that it's been actually implemented.

Thank you,

Davide

I saw in his documentation comments something he got to know thanks to you. For sure he mentioned your name

Tomorrow at work I check how it works in CS6 if I won't forget. Now I can say that here with CS 5.1 I tested it probably at same time what @pixxxel schubser and got the same result he posted.

UPDATE: It's not better at work in CS6 than that was in home in CS5.1 (both Windows of course).

supported in CC2015

None as I know upto and including CS6, you would use a "scrollbar" instead. They only work on a Mac.
