Cant move slider object by 0.1

Hi,

I currently have a % variable slider.  Pretty straightforward.  between 0-1. And i need the ability within this slider to move by .1%  (so the setup currently is min 0, max 1, and static step is .001),  The problem is, regardless if I drag the slider tack myself OR hit the arrows to move it, it moves in increments of .4, making it literally impossible to select a value such as 52.1%.

Ive looked at older threads saying that this was impossible to do and suggesting to creating everything in integers and then divide by 100, etc... but that was 6 years ago. Is this still a limitation on sliders? I need to be able to move from 52% to 52.1% to 52.2%, etc..and NOT just 52% to 52.4% to 52.8%.... this has to be specific down to the 0.1%

Thanks

James

Hi,

Indeed, it seems that this problem remains (at least in V11). But sometimes, i manage to catch the 0.1 step. What you can do instead a slider is use input box. See my attached .qvw.

The input box isn't as cool looking, but it will do.

Thanks for confirmation.

Follow up related question.  With the input box, after typing in a value that is close (lets says 52.1), is there a way to set the scrolling option up so that when u click up or down scroll, it moves 0.1 step FROM THE EXISTING INPUT?  The whole point of asking for the slider capability from the start was to start with a good guess and then slowly tweak the number up or down by 0.1 until you reach your goal.  Every time I hit the scroll button on my input box, it defaults to the MINIMUM of the range (0.0) which defeats the purpose and I am stuck manually typing in 52.1, 52.2, 52.3, etc over and over again.

Thanks
