A real screenshot I took from a piece of industry-standard SIP telephony middleware

No, you cannot type in them it's grayed-out. The developer wanted to make sure you only used numbers so they put in a slider.

Here's a video of the numerical input sliders in Brooktrout SIP middleware. Yes, this is real, I recorded it in 2017. No, you cannot type into the boxes.

@SwiftOnSecurity Can you "nudge" a value by exactly 1? Like if you need 109 but you're at 108.
Show threadAdministratorMar 9, 2023
@aismallard @SwiftOnSecurity Yep, with left/right arrow keys, at least?

@mdm @SwiftOnSecurity I would hope but with this I'd be worried that the answer is no lol

@aismallard @SwiftOnSecurity praying that the arrow keys work

@SwiftOnSecurity dropdowns for booleans instead of checkboxes is also nice.
What a cursed UI this is. šŸ˜‚
Show threadDwayne ChucklebagsMar 9, 2023
@SwiftOnSecurity omg could you at least use the < and > arrow keys to move the slider with more precision?
Show threadChris PinolaMar 9, 2023
@chucklebags @SwiftOnSecurity oh good point! unless they explicitly disabled it, that *should* be the default behavior for that control.

@SwiftOnSecurity I especially love that you can send 5xx (server failure) and 6xx (global failure) but not 3xx (redirection) for call not answered

I am surprised that the sliders did not also bring up an audio track of demonic laughter. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

@SwiftOnSecurity Gosh. I thought I had seen the worst with Avaya CMS Supervisor in my callcenter days, but I guess this will replace that nightmare in my dreams now.

@SwiftOnSecurity IIRC, Brooktrout cards were VERY expensive too. I think we had a few T1 cards in some Deliveryware servers.

@SwiftOnSecurity obviously sliders are only to be operated with the arrow keys!!
