Hi,
I'm using the XamNumericSlider with 'IsDirectionReversed' set to true (and orientation set to Vertical). This however does not affect the positioning of the decrease/increase buttons. I would expect that these were flipped around as well. Currently, pressing the increase button actually decreases the slider's value.
From an old forum post (http://es.infragistics.com/community/forums/p/55727/295031.aspx#295031) I understand that this issue should have been adressed in a previous Service Release, but I also get the understanding that users are expected to modify the control template to achieve this. This is kind of a default behaviour in the reversed/vertical context and should be supported out-of-the-box.
How to get the increase/decrease button to behave as expected?
Regards,Leif
Hello Leif,
I have investigated your issue, and I have asked our engineering staff to examine this further. To ensure that it will receive attention, I have logged this behavior in our internal tracking system with a Development ID of 174299. The next step will be for a developer to review my investigation and confirm my findings or to offer a fix, or other resolution.
I have made this case viewable to you. It has a case ID of CAS-138971-J9D8G7. I will update you with any new information after the review. You can also continue to send updates to this case at any time.
Please let me know if you need more information.

in my application, I use the slider to select depth below ground in a view, where depth is a positive number that increases as we get further down. To give the user an intuitive interface I set up the slider as vertical and reversed. The slider will then have the largest values at the bottom. The usability issue is that the increase/decrease button display adds a '+' sign at the top and a '-' sign at the bottom (Office 2013 theme). It feels more natural to press a '+' button at the bottom to increase the depth value.
I guess I can fix this by retemplating the slider myself, but I'd like to avoid this. I feel it is more natural for the XamSlider in general to always have the '+' sign at the end where the slider's largest value is. What I ask for is probably a generic update to the Office 2013 slider theme to address this, as other templates use e.g. arrows for the increase/decrease buttons. It is the use of '+' and '-' that makes it all a bit confusing.
The functionality of the increase and decrease buttons on the XamSlider still works as expected. Those buttons simply move the slider in their respective direction. I agree that the naming of the buttons could create a somewhat confusing situation though.
Is there any other reason that the naming of these buttons is an issue for your project?
