I need some help qith QSlider

[Markus Gustavsson]

Hello.

I have a small (actually big) problem with QSlider, I know this isn't a QT help mailinglist,
but since I've been on the list since it all started and know some of you guys a bit by now,
I guess it's ok to ask for some help ;D A while ago, some weeks, I started on a KDE proj named
KAmp, it's suppose to become a WinAmp lookalike Mpeg3 player, and I'm on the GUI, It's worked
out all ok this far, (since this is my first QT/KDE and over all, first C++ project, it's been
quite ruff but it's starting to look ok by now), however (as you can see on the small screemdump)
I've ran into problems with QSlider when I should write the slider background and button mapping
functions, I've tried to reimplement drawWinGroove and paintSlider the same way I learned to
reimplement drawButton in QPushButton (which works ok now), but it still doesn't work.
I've tried to get some help by the KDE developers but no one has time for me, he he.

It would be great if someone could give me some advice on how to do this, I'm really on my own
now (atleast it feels like that), I've spent the last day trying to find someone who can help
me with the QSlider reimplementation wichout any success, It's really quite ruff to get help,
and it's ruff overall when I'm new to both the C++ lang and KDE/QT, but if I get help on this
one I'll not bug you with more questions during the rest of this millennium, I can promise you! :)
