Windows Forms 2.0 – The NumericUpDown Control

The NumericUpDown control allows the user to select a number that falls between a minimum and a maximum value. The NumericUpDown control primarily contains four integer properties: Minimum, Maximum, Value, and Increment.

How Do I Get Started With The NumericUpDown Control

The Minimum and Maximum properties allows you to specify the range of values for the control.The Increment value specifies the value to be incremented or decremented to the Value property when the user clicks the up or down arrow buttons. You can also control the speed of the control as it moves through numbers when the user presses the up or down arrow by setting the Accelerations property.

private void CreateNumericUpDown()

{

numericUpDown = new NumericUpDown();

// Set the Minimum, Maximum, and initial Value.

numericUpDown.Value = 0;

numericUpDown.Maximum = 220;

numericUpDown.Minimum = 0;

Controls.Add(numericUpDown);

}

Note: You can configure how values are displayed in the Windows Forms NumericUpDown control. The DecimalPlaces property determines how many numbers appear after the decimal point; the default is 0. The ThousandsSeparator property determines whether a separator will be inserted between every three decimal digits; the default is false.
