Skinz 0.2 Volume Control (The follow along tutorial :)

Ok, need a slider that provides a value of 0 on the bottom, to 255 on the top. Once the slider stops moving, must fill in n below and make this call... send-message winamp-hwnd WM_USER n 122 Realtime thing happening here, if the slider moves, then the new value is sent. How often would/should it update.. my guess is, of course, when the value is different. But with a slider it makes many incremental changes.. can each be sent via "SendMessage"? TB

Ooops, You said 0 to 255 and I posted sample values of 1 to 255. --Gregg
