It's not the best mod for an example of sliders, but Recap
here has several sliders in RecapOptions.lua and RecapOptions.xml.
In the xml, I define the min/max/default of the slider in the slider's tag.
<Slider name="RecapIdleFightSlider" orientation="HORIZONTAL" enableMouse="true" minValue="5" maxValue="60" defaultValue="10" valueStep="1">
The scripts section only has tooltip bits and OnValueChanged:
<Scripts>
<OnEnter>
Recap_OnTooltip("IdleFightSlider");
</OnEnter>
<OnLeave>
GameTooltip:Hide();
</OnLeave>
<OnValueChanged>
Recap_IdleFightSlider_OnValueChanged(arg1);
</OnValueChanged>
</Scripts>
In/after the VARIABLES_LOADED event, I make recap_temp.Loaded=true and call Recap_InitializeOptions():
function Recap_InitializeOptions()
local chatname,chatid,i;
RecapAutoFadeSlider:SetValue(recap.Opt.AutoFadeTimer.value);
RecapIdleFightSlider:SetValue(recap.Opt.IdleFightTimer.value);
RecapMaxRowsSlider:SetValue(recap.Opt.MaxRows.value);
RecapMaxRankSlider:SetValue(recap.Opt.MaxRank.value);
etc
end
To set all the values from the last session.
Then OnValueChanged is very simple:
function Recap_IdleFightSlider_OnValueChanged(arg1)
if recap_temp.Loaded and arg1 then
RecapIdleFightSlider_Text:SetText(arg1.." seconds");
recap.Opt.IdleFightTimer.value = arg1;
end
end
Try moving stuff out of the OnLoad/OnShow and into your VARIABLES_LOADED event. That way you're not dependent on when the UI gets around to loading up your UI during startup.

I would think just running the update function would accomplish this, but I can't for the life of me get that DiivSkins_hbar1Update() function (posted earlier) to fire from anywhere other than the <OnValueChanged> call of the slider xml.

Don't try fitting everything into the xml. In many cases it's better to manipulate stuff in your OnEvent handlers than the control's own event handlers.
