An indispensible uicontrol: linked slider, text, and labels all self-contained in a panel.
FUNCTION:
sliderHandle,panelHandle,editHandle] = sliderPanel(parent, PanelPVs, SliderPVs, EditPVs, LabelPVs, numFormat)

Creates a slider in a separate uipanel, with an associated interactive EditBox, and left and right labels showing the minimum and maximum values of the slider, respectively.

Moving the slider automatically updates the textbox, and vice versa. Both slider movement and text edits will trigger (non-recursively) the callback of the slider.

The EditBox automatically disallows the entry of non-numeric values, or of values outside of [min,max]. Attempts to enter disallowed values will be ignored.

Two syntaxes are supported. One gives FULL control over all elements of the sliderPanel, and a second provides easier access to a subset of the functionality.

UPDATE: Right-clicking the slider now resets the sliderPanel to its default (creation) value.
