Using SetValue() on Slider Control

I'm trying to set the slider in a window using RangeValuePattern.SetValue().  The window is used to set the start point for replaying market data in the app NinjaTrader 8. When using the Action window in Inspect.exe I can set a value and the slider responds.  When I run a script that selects the slider and uses .SetValue() with the same value the slider does not move.  I've tried giving the focus to the slider with no change in results.

I'm a noob with autoit and tried to attach screenshots to this post.  I have shots from UIASpy and Inspect.exe.  When I try to attach them I get an "Upload Failed" message.  They show results from the respective programs.  As an alternative I included the apps results with the slider selected.

In addition to this problem, I am unable to press the start button with an autoit script or by using inspect.exe=>Action=>Toggle() or inspect.exe=>Action=>DoDefaultAction().  I'll post that after solving the current problem.

In the $dtag_IUIAutomationRangeValuePattern definition in UIA_Constants.au3, please correct all ushort 

Global Const $sIID_IUIAutomationRangeValuePattern = "{59213F4F-7346-49E5-B120-80555987A148}"
Global Const $dtag_IUIAutomationRangeValuePattern = _
  "SetValue hresult(ushort);" & _
  "CurrentValue hresult(ushort*);" & _
  "CurrentIsReadOnly hresult(long*);" & _
  "CurrentMaximum hresult(ushort*);" & _
  "CurrentMinimum hresult(ushort*);" & _
  "CurrentLargeChange hresult(ushort*);" & _
  "CurrentSmallChange hresult(ushort*);" & _
  "CachedValue hresult(ushort*);" & _
  "CachedIsReadOnly hresult(long*);" & _
  "CachedMaximum hresult(ushort*);" & _
  "CachedMinimum hresult(ushort*);" & _
  "CachedLargeChange hresult(ushort*);" & _
  "CachedSmallChange hresult(ushort*);"

to double this way: 

Global Const $sIID_IUIAutomationRangeValuePattern = "{59213F4F-7346-49E5-B120-80555987A148}"
Global Const $dtag_IUIAutomationRangeValuePattern = _
  "SetValue hresult(double);" & _
  "CurrentValue hresult(double*);" & _
  "CurrentIsReadOnly hresult(long*);" & _
  "CurrentMaximum hresult(double*);" & _
  "CurrentMinimum hresult(double*);" & _
  "CurrentLargeChange hresult(double*);" & _
  "CurrentSmallChange hresult(double*);" & _
  "CachedValue hresult(double*);" & _
  "CachedIsReadOnly hresult(long*);" & _
  "CachedMaximum hresult(double*);" & _
  "CachedMinimum hresult(double*);" & _
  "CachedLargeChange hresult(double*);" & _
  "CachedSmallChange hresult(double*);"
