so a slider function should only be passing the current slider knob
location as a % of the slide. thus it could be used for anything that
would use a slider, not just QT! OK, that's good.

1 - so how would a slider behavior know what object to talk to? would
you enter the global reference to the QTObject in the
getObjectProperties dialog?

2 - what would you suggest for a method name for this function in the
QTObject?
