The MinMaxSlider element is a slider that allows you to select a range of values within a specified minimum and maximum range. You can use it to set a range of values for various parameters, such as volume levels, character stats, or other numerical values in your UI(User Interface) Allows a user to interact with your application. Unity currently supports three UI systems. More info
See in Glossary. To use it, define the minimum and maximum values, and then slide the handle to select the range you want.
You can create a MinMaxSlider with UI Builder, UXML, or C#. The following C# example creates a MinMaxSlider with a default value, low limit, and high limit:
var minMaxSlider = new MinMaxSlider();
minMaxSlider.value = new Vector2(0.25f, 0.75f);
minMaxSlider.lowLimit = 0;
minMaxSlider.highLimit = 1;
The following UXML example creates a MinMaxSlider:
<UXML xmlns="UnityEngine.UIElements" xmlns:uie="UnityEditor.UIElements">
<MinMaxSlider
label="UXML Field"
name="the-uxml-field"
min-value="0"
max-value="20"
low-limit="-10"
high-limit="40" />
</UXML>
The following C# example illustrates some of the customizable functionalities of the MinMaxSlider:
// Get a reference to the field from UXML and assign a value to it.
var uxmlField = container.Q<MinMaxSlider>("the-uxml-field");
uxmlField.value = new Vector2(10, 12);
// Create a new field, disable it, and give it a style class.
var csharpField = new MinMaxSlider("C# Field", 0, 20, -10, 40);
csharpField.SetEnabled(false);
csharpField.AddToClassList("some-styled-field");
csharpField.value = uxmlField.value;
container.Add(csharpField);
// Mirror the value of the UXML field into the C# field.
uxmlField.RegisterCallback<ChangeEvent<Vector2>>((evt) =>
{
csharpField.value = evt.newValue;
});

C# class: MinMaxSlider
Namespace: UnityEngine.UIElements
Base class: BaseField_1
This element has the following member attributes:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
high-limit |
float |
This is the high limit of the slider. |
low-limit |
float |
This is the low limit of the slider. |
max-value |
float |
This is the high value of the range represented on the slider. |
min-value |
float |
This is the low value of the range represented on the slider. |
This element inherits the following attributes from its base class:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
binding-path |
string |
Path of the target property to be bound. |
focusable |
boolean |
True if the element can be focused. |
label |
string |
The string representing the label that will appear beside the field. |
tabindex |
int |
An integer used to sort focusables in the focus ring. Must be greater than or equal to zero. |
This element also inherits the following attributes from VisualElement
:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
content-container |
string |
Child elements are added to it, usually this is the same as the element itself. |
name |
string |
The name of this VisualElement. Use this property to write USS selectors that target a specific element. The standard practice is to give an element a unique name. |
picking-mode |
UIElements.PickingMode |
Determines if this element can be pick during mouseEvents or IPanel.Pick queries. |
style |
string |
Reference to the style object of this element. Contains data computed from USS files or inline styles written to this object in C#. |
tooltip |
string |
Text to display inside an information box after the user hovers the element for a small amount of time. This is only supported in the Editor UI. |
usage-hints |
UIElements.UsageHints |
A combination of hint values that specify high-level intended usage patterns for the VisualElement . This property can only be set when the VisualElement is not yet part of a Panel . Once part of a Panel , this property becomes effectively read-only, and attempts to change it will throw an exception. The specification of proper UsageHints drives the system to make better decisions on how to process or accelerate certain operations based on the anticipated usage pattern. Note that those hints do not affect behavioral or visual results, but only affect the overall performance of the panel and the elements within. It’s advised to always consider specifying the proper UsageHints , but keep in mind that some UsageHints might be internally ignored under certain conditions (e.g. due to hardware limitations on the target platform). |
view-data-key |
string |
Used for view data persistence (ie. tree expanded states, scroll position, zoom level). This is the key used to save/load the view data from the view data store. Not setting this key will disable persistence for this VisualElement . |
