usInfoType (USHORT)

      Information attribute.

      Attribute that identifies the requested information. It can be one of the following:

      SMA_SHAFTDIMENSIONS

        Queries for the length and breadth of the slider shaft.
      SMA_SHAFTPOSITION
        Queries for the x-, y-position of the lower-left corner of the slider shaft.
      SMA_SLIDERARMDIMENSIONS
        Queries for the length and breadth of the slider arm.
      SMA_SLIDERARMPOSITION
        Queries for the position of the slider arm. The position can be returned either as an increment position or a range value.

      usArmPosType (USHORT)

        Format attribute.

        Attribute that identifies the format in which the information should be returned if the slider arm position is requested. This value is ignored for all other queries and is one of the following:

        SMA_RANGEVALUE

          The value returned in the low order word represents the number of pixels between the home position and the current arm position. The high order word represents the pixel count of the entire range of the slider control.
        SMA_INCREMENTVALUE
          The value returned represents an increment position using the primary scale.

        ulReserved (ULONG)

          Reserved value, should be 0.

        ulInfo (ULONG)

          Return information.

          One of the following items, depending on which SMA_* message attribute or attributes, were set with the SLM_SETSLIDERINFO message:

          • If the SMA_SHAFTDIMENSIONS attribute is set, the following is returned:

              usShaftLength (USHORT)

                Length of the slider shaft, in pixels. It is the width of the slider shaft for horizontal sliders, and the height of the slider shaft for vertical sliders.
              usShaftBreadth (USHORT)
                Breadth of the slider shaft, in pixels. It is the height of the slider shaft for horizontal sliders, and the width of the slider shaft for vertical sliders.
              
                If the SMA_SHAFTPOSITION attribute is set, the following is returned:

                xShaftCoord (USHORT)

                  X-coordinate of the slider shaft position within the slider window. This value is expressed in window coordinates and represents the lower-left corner of the slider shaft.
                yShaftCoord (USHORT)
                  Y-coordinate of the slider shaft position within the slider window. This value is expressed in window coordinates and represents the lower-left corner of the slider shaft.
                
                  If the SMA_SLIDERARMDIMENSIONS attribute is set, the following is returned:

                  usArmLength (USHORT)

                    Length of the slider arm, in pixels. It is the width of the slider arm for horizontal sliders and the height of the slider arm for vertical sliders.
                  usArmBreadth (USHORT)
                    Breadth of the slider arm, in pixels. It is the height of the slider arm for horizontal sliders and the width of the slider arm for vertical sliders.
                  
                    If the SMA_SLIDERARMPOSITION and SMA_RANGEVALUE attributes are set, the following is returned:

                    usArmPos (USHORT)

                      Number of pixels from the home position to the slider arm.
                    usSliderRange (USHORT)
                      Number of pixels over which the user could select a value on the slider.
                    
                      If the SMA_SLIDERARMPOSITION and SMA_INCREMENTVALUE attributes are set, the following is returned:

                      usIncrementPos (USHORT)

                        Increment that corresponds to the current position of the slider arm.
                      
                        If the SLDERR_INVALID_PARAMETERS error is returned, an error occurred. The WinGetLastError function may return the following error:

                          PMERR_INVALID_PARAMETERS.
