    I need to know the state of a slider, when it begins dragging and when it stops dragging. Are there events for that? I tried using DragEnterEvent and DragLeaveEvent with RegisterCallback, but I never got anything. What's the correct way?

    Sliders internally use MouseEvents/PointerEvents to detect drag, you could register to these pointer down/pointer up events on TrickleDown, on the drag element (className: Slider.draggerUssClassName).

    Anyone else visiting here in the future.

    This worked for me:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. Slider.RegisterCallback<MouseCaptureOutEvent>(OnScrubberSliderReleased);
    2. // dont forget to unregister in the detachFromPanelEvent handler
    3. Slider.UnregisterCallback<MouseCaptureOutEvent>(OnScrubberSliderReleased);
