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.

      numericUpDown1->Dock = System::Windows::Forms::DockStyle::Top;
      
      // Set the Minimum, Maximum, and initial Value.
      numericUpDown1->Value = 5;
      numericUpDown1->Maximum = 2500;
      numericUpDown1->Minimum = -100;

Remarks

When the Value property is set, the new value is validated to be between the Minimum and Maximum values. Following this, the UpdateEditText method is called to update the spin box's display with the new value in the appropriate format.
