{{LuaApi|group=SliderBar}}
Moves a SliderBar to a position.

<pre>
SliderBarSetCurrentPosition(sliderBarName, position)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;sliderBarName : <code>string</code> – Name of the SliderBar.
;position : <code>number</code> – New position, from 0 (start) to 1 (end).

== Returns ==
Nothing.

== Details ==
* Values below 0 become 0 and values above 1 become 1.
* The call is ignored while the SliderBar is disabled (see [[API:SliderBarSetDisabledFlag|SliderBarSetDisabledFlag]]). Enable it first if you need to move it.
* The SliderBar's <code>OnSlide</code> handler is '''not''' run by this function. It runs only when the user moves the slider.
* The function needs at least two arguments and only reads the last two. Any extra arguments placed in front of them are ignored.

== Errors ==
* <code>Error in function call 'SliderBarSetCurrentPosition': Window %s does not exist.</code>
* <code>Error in function call 'SliderBarSetCurrentPosition': Window %s is not a SliderBar.</code>

== Example ==
Setting colour sliders from a 0–255 colour, from <code>default/ea_chatwindow/source/chatoptionswindow.lua</code>:
<pre>
local colorRatio = color.r / 255
SliderBarSetCurrentPosition("ChatOptionsWindowCustomColorRedSlider", colorRatio )
colorRatio = color.g / 255
SliderBarSetCurrentPosition("ChatOptionsWindowCustomColorGreenSlider", colorRatio )
</pre>
