Always show thumb value; customize that value

Hi,

I'm trying to use SfRangeSlider to select a time. Internally, this is stored as a double, as a difference between DateTime.Now and the picked time.

I then use CustomLabels to map this back to an actual wall clock. Looks like this:



So, right now, it is 12:45, and I'm picking a value 15 minutes ahead of that, 13:00 (or T+15).

There's multiple problems here:

  • I want that value to always be visible, not just in a tooltip.
  • I want to apply the same custom label to the value. But I don't want every single major tick to have a label; that would take up way too much visual space. So in this particular example, I want to only see labels for 12:15, 13:00 (because I've picked it), 14:15, 15:15. The 14:00 one should be skipped because it would take up too much space.
  • I want these labels to be centered horizontally (i.e., T-30, etc. should be pushed slightly to the right). I tried setting the style of TickBarItem, but that didn't quite work:
            <Style TargetType="sf:TickBarItem">
                <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center" />
            </Style>

This will look like:

Please cast your vote to make it count. We will prioritize the features every release based on the demands and we do not have an immediate plan to implement this feature since we committed with already planned work. So, this feature will be available for any of our upcoming releases.

Thanks for making the feedback item.

For others interested, looks like my screenshot didn't upload right. Let's try from a different browser:
