Examples

The following code example uses the derived class NumericUpDown and sets some of its properties derived from UpDownBase. This code requires that you have a NumericUpDown control, two ComboBox controls, and three CheckBox controls created on a form. Label the ComboBox controls BorderStyle and TextAlign. Label the CheckBox controls InterceptArrowKeys, ReadOnly, and UpDownAlign. The code allows you to change the property values at run time and see how each affects the appearance and behavior of the spin box. Add the following items to the combo box labeled BorderStyle: None, Fixed3D, and FixedSingle. Add the following items to the combo box labeled TextAlign: Left, Right, and Center.

void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged( Object^ sender, EventArgs^ e )
{
   // Set the BorderStyle property.
   if (  !String::Compare( comboBox1->Text, "Fixed3D" ) )
   {
      numericUpDown1->BorderStyle = System::Windows::Forms::BorderStyle::Fixed3D;
   }
   else
   if (  !String::Compare( comboBox1->Text, "None" ) )
   {
      numericUpDown1->BorderStyle = System::Windows::Forms::BorderStyle::None;
   }
   else
   if (  !String::Compare( comboBox1->Text, "FixedSingle" ) )
   {
      numericUpDown1->BorderStyle = System::Windows::Forms::BorderStyle::FixedSingle;
   }
}

   }
   else
   if (  !String::Compare( comboBox1->Text, "Left" ) )
   {
      numericUpDown1->TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment::Left;

Remarks

By setting the ReadOnly property to true, you will eliminate the need for much validation of the Text property. The user will be restricted to the use of the up and down buttons to change the Text values. It will only allow them to select values you specify.

Note

In the derived class DomainUpDown, the behavior described is slightly different. When ReadOnly is set to true and a key is pressed, the control selects the first item in the collection where the first character matches the key pressed.
