Examples

The following code example creates and initializes a NumericUpDown control, sets some of its common properties, and allows the user to change some of these properties at run time. This code assumes three CheckBox controls have been placed on a form and handlers for their Click events have been instantiated. The DecimalPlaces, ThousandsSeparator, and Hexadecimal properties are set on the Click event of each check box.

      // Set the Minimum, Maximum, and initial Value.
      numericUpDown1->Value = 5;
      numericUpDown1->Maximum = 2500;

Remarks

When the Minimum property is set, the Maximum property is evaluated and the UpdateEditText method is called. If the new Minimum property value is greater than the Maximum property value, the Maximum value is set equal to the Minimum value. If the Value is less than the new Minimum value, the Value property is also set equal to the Minimum value.
