readonly property on Slider

[dilawar]

Does it make sense to add readonly property on the Slider widget https://slint-ui.com/releases/0.2.5/docs/rust/slint/docs/widgets/index.html#slider? If I am not wrong, another user-input widget Button supports it.

In one of my use cases, I don't want the user to be able to move the slider until one of the background processes is complete. In another use case, I am abusing the Slider a bit and using it like a meter to show a value between 0 and 100. In both cases, the ability to make the slider readonly will help.

I think it makes sense, yes.
Note that there is also a enabled property that can be set to false, but somehow it seems it isn't documented :-/

enabled might just do the job! 👍🏼

If I am not doing something wrong, the meaning of enabled is slightly different than what I was hoping. Once the enabled of the slider is set to false, any update to its value does not change the slider in the UI? The readonly will update the slider value and redraw it but won't accept the events generated by a user.

Apparently, I was doing something wrong. Even when enabled=false, the slider gets redrawn when the value is updated.
