Anvil extras Slider, connect property not updating in UI

[morod3v]

Hello dear community

What I'm trying to do:

I am trying to modify the anvil extras' slider component "connect" property from code.

What I've tried and what's not working:

I have a slider with two handles.
Initially, the connect property is set to True, such that the inner connection is colored.
In the code, i've tried this:

self.slider_1.connect = [True, False, True]
print(self.slider_1.connect)

which does work (i got [True, False, True] printed)

HOWEVER
In the UI, the color of the slider doesn't change, and i don't get the desired connection (colored, not colored, colored)

It does work when i do it in the designer.
But i really need it to work from code because i need it to be triggered from an other component click event.

Other properties:

Here are some screenshots of the other properties of the slider.

Any idea of where this could come from ?

following from anvil forum

Yes we never implemented connect as a dynamic property, because it's not a dynamic property in the underlying javascript library
We'll need to destroy the existing slider component and create a new one whenever the connect property changes
(like we do in the designer)

@morod3v - were you interested in writing a PR? If so let us know and I can point you in the right direction. If not - no problem. I'll take a look at this when i get some time next week hopefully,

Yup, i've saw your answer in the anvil forum
And you've made me try exactly what you said : destroy the old slider and create a new one, with the same properties as the old one, except for the connect property which i change as desired.
Good workaround.

PS: as i stated in my bug report, ... what's a PR ???
