Maximum number of labels per 100 logical pixels

By default, a maximum of three labels are displayed for each 100 logical pixels in range slider. The maximum number of labels that should present within 100 logical pixels length can be customized using the MaximumLabelsCount property of the range slider. This property is applicable only for automatic range calculation and will not work, if you set value for Interval property of a RangeSlider.

<slider:SfRangeSlider RangeStart="30"
                      RangeEnd="70"
                      MaximumLabelsCount="1"
                      ShowLabels="True" />
SfRangeSlider sfRangeSlider = new SfRangeSlider();
sfRangeSlider.MaximumLabelsCount = 1;
sfRangeSlider.RangeStart = 30;
sfRangeSlider.RangeEnd = 70;
sfRangeSlider.ShowLabels = true;
this.Content = sfRangeSlider;
