Arguments: trackbar
Returns the value of the tick-side property of the argument. The possible values are :left and :top (which, as we explain below, are equivalent), :right and :bottom (also equivalent), :both, and :none. A trackbar can be oriented horizontally or vertically. :left and :right are appropriate for a vertical orientation while :top and :bottom are appropriate for a horizontal orientation. However, to avoid errors when the orientation is changed, :left is interpreted as :top when the orientation is :horizontal and vice versa when the orientation is :vertical. Similarly, :right is interpreted as :bottom when the orientation is :horizontal.
The trackbar pointer points toward the side with the ticks. If there are ticks on both sides, the pointer does not have a point (it is squared on both sides. If there are no ticks, the pointer points right or down.
The tick-side property may not be changed on an existing control, and must instead be specified with the inspector when designing a control (using a form) or with the :tick-side initarg of make-instance. (It can be changed using the inspector when designing a form but not for a running control, either in the IDE or in an application.)
tick-side is a
property of the trackbar
class.
