How to determine whether the JSlider is currently snapping to tick marks in Java?
At first, we will create a slider and set it to snap to tick marks:
JSlider slider = new JSlider(JSlider.HORIZONTAL, 0, 100, 40); slider.setMinorTickSpacing(10); slider.setMajorTickSpacing(20); slider.setPaintTicks(true); slider.setPaintLabels(true); slider.setSnapToTicks(true);
After that, we will check whether the slider is currently snapping to tick marks. The result would be displayed in the TRUE/FALSE boolean
slider.getSnapToTicks()
Display the result in the Console as shown below:
System.out.println("Snapping to tick marks? = "+slider.getSnapToTicks());
The following is an example to determine whether the slider is currently snapping to tick marks:
Example
package my;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Font;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JSlider;
import javax.swing.WindowConstants;
public class SwingDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Frame with Slider");
JSlider slider = new JSlider(JSlider.HORIZONTAL, 0, 100, 40);
slider.setMinorTickSpacing(10);
slider.setMajorTickSpacing(20);
slider.setPaintTicks(true);
slider.setPaintLabels(true);
slider.setBackground(Color.CYAN);
slider.setForeground(Color.black);
slider.setSnapToTicks(true);
System.out.println("Snapping to tick marks? = "+slider.getSnapToTicks());
Font font = new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 13);
slider.setFont(font);
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.add(slider);
frame.add(panel);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize(600, 300);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
Output

The console would display whether the Slider is snapping to tick marks or not:
