Get the name of a slider

Hi-

I'm trying to write a VB.NET component that will output the name and current value of a slider as a way to keep track of parameter values as I'm iterating.

I'm not sure that "name" is the correct description, so I've circled the item I want to retrieve in the attached screenshot.

So far the strategy has been to get a list of GrasshopperDocument.ActiveObjects, filter them by whether or not they're Grasshopper.Kernel.Special.GH_NumberSlider. From there I can get the GUIDs of the sliders, but am struck after that.

Also, is there a much easier way to do this that I'm overlooking?

Suggestions?

You're looking for the "NickName" and "TickValue" params. I'm not too familiar with VB, so here's an example of how to do this in Python.

Hope it helps.
