[CODE] Slider+Value (or Edit) and Check, custom classes

So this is probably the final evolution of my custom code.
(For reference, the older float value slider class is there: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=29445)

What is it allows you to do:

Shorten the Gui initialization code (a lot) when you have plenty of:
1. sliders with value text (bound to some float, by pointer)[/*]
2. sliders with editbox (both change the value and update itself)[/*]
3. checkboxes (bound to some bool)[/*][/list:u][/*]
4. Add an event when the value changed, and run your code after[/*]
5. Easily change the pointer later[/*]
6. Update slider (value and edit too) if you changed the value yourself (just 1 call)[/*]
7. Simply change the TextBox to EditBox (just in .layout) if you want to also be able to edit the value, not only show it[/*]
8. Use power exponent for slider value (default is 1)[/*]
9. RMB on slider resets to default value, set earlier by a method (or default 0.5)[/*]
10. Plenty formatting options for value
  1. Specify how many digits after dot and how many in total (for float)[/*]
  2. You can add suffix after value, and use scale for the value displayed[/*]
  3. Use string map if you want to show strings not integer values[/*]
    [/list:u]
    [/*]
    [/list:u]
    
    For more info see the comments in example use code in _Options.cpp (with _Options.layout) and in SliderValue.h.
    Probably only <Resource type="ResourceLayout" name="Slider" version="3.2.0"> is needed in templates but I inluded the whole skin.

    Scale has both editbox and slider rest are just sliders and value text.
    This also shows the use for pointer change. We have max 6 layers, and on changing layer (click on tab or key press) the slider's pointer change to those float values from other layer, and they get updated on Gui.
    
    Here, a bit covered but the bottom sliders also have edits.
