ABSTRACT:
The movement of first and second sliders on a user interface of a data processing system is loosely coordinated by way of pusher member. The pusher is coupled to one of the sliders and extends over to the other slider, where it is adapted to contact a side of the other slider. The sliders move independently of each other if the pusher does not contact the other slider, as in for example, the sliders moving apart. If the pusher does contact the other slider, then both sliders become ganged and move in unison.
