How do I get the value from the slider's position?

JeremyK, for me this is some nonsense what You are doing - when new value of slider is 0 You are once more set it to 0. I suspect that the other methods are identical. What you really want to do?

I just want the slider carry out the same function as each of the push buttons do. But instead of pressing each push button individually, I would rather that moving the slider would have the same effect.

For instance, if I move it to say 10, it works but then stays there regardless of moving the sllider. All of a sudden, it then jumps to 30 or 40. Any idea why?

You have a slider with a range of zero to four, but are complaining about something with a value of 10, 30 or 40?

The jerky behaviour is probably because whatever is executing in the slots associated with 1, 2, 3 etc. is taking some time to execute and blocking the UI while it does so. The slider emits a valueChanged() for every value you pass through, not just the value where you release the slider button.

Ultimately though I have no idea what you are trying to achieve. The whole idea of using the position of a slider to execute discrete functions more logically assigned to buttons is truly odd. If you want all five actions to occur in sequence then just call the slot for each button in turn in response to pushing a "Do the lot" button.

It makes sense now. Got everything sorted.
Thanks a lot for the help guys.
