For this I had to write my own

   int setValue(int value) {
     // this->scrollvalue(value);
     cout << "Called with value " << value << endl;
   }

And it does get called by port_event() now

  * what do I put in this setValue() in order to /actually//update/ the
    widget value?

There is a int scrollvalue(int pos,int size,int first,int total); in
Fl_Slider.H but can't call it from the class, witch is not explicitely
extending Fl_Slider

from what I can see... Is it?

Thanks everybody

PS - Apparently Sorcer is using AvTK on top of FLTK, I was under the
impression that Sorcer's UI was using NTK, am I mistaking?
