You can also enable the tick display in a slider control, to provide a better indication of the thumb placement. Use the TickPlacement property to turn on the tick markers. It has four values None, TopLeft, BottomRight, and Both. Let's add TickPlacement="BottomRight" in our previous slider control.
The TickFrequency property is used to set the range of possible values between 0 and 100. Let's add TickFrequency="20" to our code and then run the application again. You will see the following screen:
