ok - this has got me stumped. my $volbox = Qt::HBox($parent); my $volVal = Qt::Label(vol, $volbox); my $slider = Qt::Slider(&Qt::Horizontal, $volbox); $slider->setRange(0,10); $slider->setValue(0); the label appears, but the slider does not..... I went and copied tutorial 5 and *it* doesn't work either.....
