• ShowTicks – specifies the visibility of tick marks;

• Frequency – specifies the interval between neighboring tick marks;

• TickMarks – specifies the location of tick marks relative to the track bar;

• TickType – specifies the appearance of tick marks.

Available TickType property values are listed and illustrated in the table below.

tbttNumbers	All tick marks are represented as text labels displaying corresponding tick values. A tick value is the value that the Position property will return if the thumb points to this tick mark.
tbttValueNumber	Tick marks that correspond to the following values display these values as text labels: The track bar’s minimum and maximum values; The track bar’s thumb position if it exactly matches a tick mark. Other tick marks are displayed as ticks.

Use the TickColor property to customize the color of ticks. To customize the text color of tick labels, use the font settings of the track bar’s Style~ option sets.
