[edited] I'm designing an electronic load. In constant-current
mode, I need to realize a programmble current slew rate control.
Can you give me a sample circuit, thanks a lot.
Here's a simple gain-of-one circuit that follows an input
control voltage, but with a programmable slew rate, using
a programmable transconductance opamp.

Example of transconductance opamps are NSC's LM13700, the
original CA3080 or NSC's copy, the LM3080. These are still
available from surplus suppliers (I kept a lifetime supply).
You could also try a Burr-Brown opa660 over a limited range.
