Custom behavior for QSlider - tips/hints needed

[MasterBLB]

That was the 1st I've tried (real used values are range <0, 100>, step 5) but it's still possible to set slider value to say 67 by clicking LMB on slider handle, and move it via mouse move.
And I'd like the handle to stay in place while being dragged via mouse, and be moved only if the new value would be multiplication of step.

Hmmm...do you have void QAbstractSlider::sliderChange(QAbstractSlider::SliderChange change) in mind @raven-worx ?

no.
my suggestion doesn't require any change/subclassing of QSlider. Just how you interpret the returned value

@MasterBLB
in that cause.

A quick and dirty workaround could be:

QSlider *slider(new QSlider);
    slider->setRange(0,100);
    slider->show();

    QObject::connect(slider, &QSlider::valueChanged, slider, [slider](int value){
        const int step = 5;
        int offset = value % step;
        if( offset != 0)
            slider->setValue(value - offset);
    });

use at one's own risk

Thanks @J-Hilk , the last workaround works almost exactly as I'd like it to - however, middle values are still sent via signal valueChanged() :/ though I think I could add logic into receiver to ignore everything which is not sliderValue % sliderStep() = 0

EDIT:
SPLENDID, the combined approach worked! Thank you very much Brother.

WTF, why I can't set J.Hilk's post as correct answer?? o.O Moderators, please help!

Should be able to. What's not working with it? Did you find the button to do so?

[MasterBLB]

I'm poining those 3 dots with mouse, but in the menu there is no option "mark this post as correct answer". I have the option for my posts only o.O

That's odd, it may be a bug in the forum software. I can see it for all posts, but it should be available to you too. I'll make inquiries.

Thanks, @kshegunov. The inquiry is at https://forum.qt.io/topic/97183/mark-as-correct-answer-not-appearing-for-some-posts

@MasterBLB, I've marked the solution for you in the meantime.

Thank you @JKSH .
