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 named numericUpDown1, two ComboBox controls named comboBox1 and comboBox2, and three CheckBox controls named checkBox1, checkBox2, and checkBox2 created on a form. Add the following items to comboBox1: None, Fixed3D, and FixedSingle. Add the following items to comboBox2: Left, Right, and Center.

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.

private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(Object sender, 
                                             EventArgs e)
 {
      // Set the BorderStyle property.
     switch(comboBox1.Text)
     {
         case "Fixed3D":
             numericUpDown1.BorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.Fixed3D;
             break;
         case "None":
             numericUpDown1.BorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.None;
             break;
         case "FixedSingle":
             numericUpDown1.BorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.FixedSingle;
             break;
     }
 }
 
 private void comboBox2_SelectedIndexChanged(Object sender, 
                                             EventArgs e)
 {
      // Set the TextAlign property.    
     switch (comboBox2.Text)
     {
         case "Right":
             numericUpDown1.TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Right;
             break;
         case "Left":
             numericUpDown1.TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Left;
             break;
         case "Center":
             numericUpDown1.TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
             break;
     }
 }
 
 private void checkBox1_Click(Object sender, 
                              EventArgs e)
 {
      // Evaluate and toggle the ReadOnly property.
     if (numericUpDown1.ReadOnly)
     {
         numericUpDown1.ReadOnly = false;
     }
     else
     {
         numericUpDown1.ReadOnly = true;
     }
 }
 
 private void checkBox2_Click(Object sender, 
                              EventArgs e)
 {
      // Evaluate and toggle the InterceptArrowKeys property.
     if (numericUpDown1.InterceptArrowKeys)
     {  
         numericUpDown1.InterceptArrowKeys = false;
     }
     else
     {
         numericUpDown1.InterceptArrowKeys = true;
     }
 }
 
 private void checkBox3_Click(Object sender, 
                              EventArgs e)
 {
      // Evaluate and toggle the UpDownAlign property.
     if (numericUpDown1.UpDownAlign == LeftRightAlignment.Left)
     {
         numericUpDown1.UpDownAlign = LeftRightAlignment.Right;
     }
     else
     {
         numericUpDown1.UpDownAlign = LeftRightAlignment.Left;
     }
 }
