    <title>Creating the Component with a Page Tag</title>
    <para>Here is a simple example as it could be used on a page:</para>

    <para>
      <emphasis role="bold">Example:</emphasis>
    </para>
    <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[...
    <rich:dataFilterSlider sliderListener="#{mybean.doSlide}" startRange="0"
                                            endRange="50000" increment="10000" handleValue="1" />

    <title>Details of Usage</title>
    <para>The <emphasis role="bold">
        <property>dataFilterSlider</property>
      </emphasis> component is bound to some UIData component using a <emphasis>
        <property>&quot;for&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> attribute and filters data in a table. </para>
    <para>
      <emphasis role="bold">Example:</emphasis>
    </para>
    <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[...
    <rich:dataFilterSlider sliderListener="#{mybean.doSlide}"
                        startRange="0"
                        endRange="50000"

                        for="carIndex"

    <para>In this example other two attributes are used for filtering:</para>
    <itemizedlist>
      <listitem><para>
        <emphasis>
          <property>&quot;forValRef&quot;</property>
        </emphasis> is a string which is used in a value attribute of the target UIData component.
        It&apos;s designed for resetting the UIData component back to the original list provided
        by a backing bean. </para></listitem>
      <listitem><para>
        <emphasis>
          <property>&quot;filterBy&quot;</property>
        </emphasis> is a getter of an object member that is to be compared to a slider value.
        It&apos;s a value that is used in results filtering. </para></listitem>
    </itemizedlist>
    <para><emphasis>
        <property>&quot;handleValue&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> is an attribute for keeping the current handler position on the
        <property>dataFilterSlider</property> component. Based on the current value, appropriate
      values obtained from a getter method defined in <emphasis>
        <property>&quot;filterBy&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> are filtered.</para>
    <para>One more important attribute is a <emphasis>
        <property>&quot;storeResults&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> one that allows the <property>dataFilterSlider</property> component to keep UIData
      target object in session.</para>
    <para>If it&apos;s necessary the component submits a form on event of a handler state
      changing, use the <emphasis>
        <property>&quot;onSlide&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> attribute (<emphasis>
        <property>&quot;onChange&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> is its alias). When the attribute <code>definition = &quot;true&quot;</code>, submission on this event is
      defined.</para>
    <para>
      Information about the <emphasis><property>&quot;process&quot;</property></emphasis> attribute usage you can find <link linkend="process">here</link>.
    </para>

    <title>Look-and-Feel Customization</title>
    <para>The <emphasis role="bold">
        <property>&lt;rich:dataFilterSlider&gt;</property>
      </emphasis> component has no skin parameters and special <emphasis>
        <property>style classes</property></emphasis>, as it consists of one element generated with a your method on the server. To
      define some style properties such as an indent or a border, it&apos;s possible to use <emphasis>
        <property>&quot;style&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> and <emphasis>
        <property>&quot;styleClass&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> attributes on the component.</para>
