Description

Give the developer some flexibility on the activeTrack on the slider control specifically -

Allow the developer to:
1. Fill the full activeTrack range regardless of the thumb position.
2. Disable the activeTrack

I use the slider with a -min and +max with the 0 point in the middle. (It is used in motion control to jog a motor cw or ccw by setting the speed). An additional nice to have would be:

1. activeTrack starts from 0 point to thumb position.

Research direction

Locate the slider control and its activeTrack implementation in the MaterialDesignInXamlToolkit source, then inspect any existing slider tests or examples. Compare the current behavior with the requested full-range fill, disabled track, and zero-to-thumb mode. Done means the supported configuration options behave correctly for the described min/max and centered-zero use case.
