Hello,

How do I pass a variable using a trackbar ? I do not want it to be a global variable like http://docs.opencv.org/2.4/doc/tutori... Id like it to be something like below

createTrackbar( TrackbarName, "Linear  Blend", &alpha_slider, alpha_slider_max, on_trackbar);
createTrackbar( TrackbarName, "Linear  Blend", &beta_slider, alpha_slider_max, on_trackbar);


void on_trackbar(int in, void*) {

int slider_val= *((int*)&in);

//How do I print the current slider value of alpha and beta ?
//cout << alpha_slider 
//cout << beta_slider
}

If you take a look at the most recent documentation you can see that you can supply a user defined pointer to an object, defined as a void pointer.

If it handles a single value, you can pass that around using its pointer. If you want to pass multiple data, then you will need to construct a struct and pass all the data with a pointer to the struct. An example is below:

int ref = 1;
createTrackbar("Name","Window",0, 1, myFunc, &ref);

void myFunc(int value, void *userdata)
{
    // Retrieve the data
    // Needs explicit type declaration
    int val = *((int*)&userdata);
}

And more general you can do it as below

cv:createTrackbar("Label", "Window" &variable, MAX_VAL, &MyClass::func, this);

static void MyClass:func(int newValue, void * object) {
    MyClass* myClass = (MyClass*) object;
    // ...do stuff.
}

To add multiple variables you will need to create a struct and provide a pointer to that

struct myData{
   int variable1 = 0;
   int variable2 = 0;
}

void myFunc(int value, void *userdata)
{
     // Retrieve the data
     // Needs explicit type declaration
     myData pushed_data = *((myData*)&userdata);
}

myData test;
test.variable1 = 5;
test.variable2 = 17;

createTrackbar("Name","Window",0, 1, myFunc, &test);

Thanks ! The line int val = ((int)&userdata); worked

May I know how i can instead have 2 trackbars that will pass their variables into the function ? I am only able to print the value that was last changed by one of the two trackbars.

Updated the answers with a possible solution! Simply add the same function then to both trackbars and look for changes in the data of the struct.

in the class example, it should be static void MyClass:func(int newValue, void * object) .

Why should I define it as static? Any reason for that?

unless it's static, you need the this pointer to call MyClass::func. (and the compiler does not know, where "this" is coming from. just try to compile it ;)

in this line myData pushed_data = *((myData*)&userdata);

should change to myData pushed_data = *((myData*)userdata);

This pointer value save your data address. We're not going to use this pointer address. so chage this line. Code will work.
