Screenshot of the TRangeSelector control

There are still a few things to improve, such as 1) add keyboard interface, 2) make the display of the markers optional and add more appearance settings, 4) snap to integer grid, and ~~3) add the ability to enter a value by numbers~~ Try double-clicking a thumb!.

The control works both with and without visual themes enabled and is completely double-buffered.

Question 2

I need a component for entering ranges. I was thinking along the lines of a trackbar with two markers. Are there "native Delphi" components that are meant for this purpose or that can simulate it easily?
