Selection in continuous fields

[qw_jakub]

Hello,

how do You approach selection in continuous fields (age, account balance ...)? I have considered 3 alternatives, none of them seems completely satisfactory to me:

- Categorization

Visually appealing, simple to use, but sometimes users need to fine-tune the selections, create their categories on the run ...

- List Box

Users have access to all the values. But there might be too many distinct values, unequally distributed = Not very comfortable for the user.

- Slider

Can select only one interval (what if I need from 100 to 200 and from 500 to 600). I never seem to find a way to deselect them too...

I am looking for a way of selection in continuous fields which:

- would look nice

- would be easy to use

- would allow selection of multiple intervals

- would allow fine-tuning in a reasonable resolution

Did you find some nice way to approach this?

Thanks

Hi.

Usually you can use all of them maybe except the slider. Add the search to the listbox (tech the users or add a separate object).
