1:A Slider control has two visual elements: the “track” and the “thumb”. How can I set the track's height and width? I can only set the slider's height and width in its property(which is a rectangle),and if the height is a little smaller(for example:height=50),the track disappears.
2:Since the drag event(DragEnter,DragLeave,DragOver)is not support by wp7,how can I handle the event when I drag the thumb along the track to change the value of the slider?

you can do something like this, since there is no drag event for the thumb you can call the mouse_enter event from code behind and use an ICommand to fetch the value of the slider when the thumb is slided over, the code looks something like this


C#
private System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.Thumb _thumb;

public override void OnApplyTemplate()
{
	base.OnApplyTemplate();

	if (_thumb != null)
	{
		_thumb.MouseEnter -= new MouseEventHandler(thumb_MouseEnter);
	}

	if (_thumb == null)
	{
		System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.Track track = this.Template.FindName(
		   "PART_Track", this) as System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.Track;
		if (track != null)
			_thumb = track.Thumb;
	}

	if (_thumb != null)
	{
		_thumb.MouseEnter += thumb_MouseEnter;
	}
}

void thumb_MouseEnter(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
	if (!this.IsMoveToPointEnabled)
		return;
            
	if (e.LeftButton == MouseButtonState.Pressed)
	{
		// the left button is pressed on mouse enter
		// but the mouse isn't captured (when MouseEnter fires), so the thumb
		// must have been moved under the mouse in response
		// to a click on the track.
		// Generate a MouseLeftButtonDown event so that
		// the user can just drag the thumb without having to click again.

		var args = new MouseButtonEventArgs(
			e.MouseDevice, e.Timestamp, MouseButton.Left);

		args.RoutedEvent = MouseLeftButtonDownEvent;
		(sender as System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.Thumb).RaiseEvent(args);
	}
}



public static readonly RoutedEvent CommandChangedEvent = EventManager.RegisterRoutedEvent(
	"CommandChangedEvent",
	RoutingStrategy.Bubble,
	typeof(RoutedPropertyChangedEventHandler<icommand>),
	typeof(XSlider));


public event RoutedPropertyChangedEventHandler<icommand> CommandChanged
{
	add { AddHandler(CommandChangedEvent, value); }
	remove { RemoveHandler(CommandChangedEvent, value); }
}


protected virtual void OnCommandChanged(ICommand oldValue, ICommand newValue)
{
	RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs<icommand> args = new RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs<icommand>(oldValue, newValue);
	args.RoutedEvent = XSlider.CommandChangedEvent;
	RaiseEvent(args);              

	if (cmd_CanExecuteChangedHandler == null)
		cmd_CanExecuteChangedHandler = cmd_CanExecuteChanged;
	if (oldValue != null)
		oldValue.CanExecuteChanged -= cmd_CanExecuteChangedHandler;
	if (newValue != null)
		newValue.CanExecuteChanged += cmd_CanExecuteChangedHandler;
	else
		cmd_CanExecuteChangedHandler = null;

	UpdateCanExecute();
}

// hold a reference to it, it might me stored as a weak reference and never be called otherwise...
EventHandler cmd_CanExecuteChangedHandler;

void cmd_CanExecuteChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{            
	UpdateCanExecute();
}

void UpdateCanExecute()
{
	if (IsCommandExecuting)
		return;

	ICommand cmd = Command;
	if (cmd == null)
	{
		IsEnabled = true;
	}
	else
	{
		try
		{
			IsCommandExecuting = true;

			var ca = new CommandCanExecuteParameter(CommandParameter);
			bool enabled = CommandUtil.CanExecute(this, CommandParameter);                    
			IsEnabled = enabled;
			CommandUtil.CanExecute(this, ca);
			if (enabled && ca.CurrentValue != null)
			{
				if (ca.CurrentValue is float)
				{
					Value = (float)ca.CurrentValue;
				}
				else if (ca.CurrentValue is double)
				{
					Value = (double)ca.CurrentValue;
				}
				if (ca.CurrentValue is RangedValue)
				{
					var rangedValue = (RangedValue)ca.CurrentValue;
					Value = rangedValue.Value;
					if (rangedValue.Minimum.HasValue)
						Minimum = rangedValue.Minimum.Value;
					if (rangedValue.Maximum.HasValue)
						Maximum = rangedValue.Maximum.Value;
				}
			}
		}
		finally { IsCommandExecuting = false; }
	}
}

private bool IsCommandExecuting { get; set; }

Note: Pls make changes according to the variable names used in your class
Hope this helps!!
