Spin Box Control

4/19/2010

A spin box control is a combination of a Windows Embedded CE list box control and the associated Windows Embedded CE up-down control and is designed specifically for Windows Mobile Standard. The up-down control arrows enable the user to increment or decrement a value in an associated control.

On Windows Mobile Standard, a spin box control allows a user to make a selection from a list by scrolling left and right. The following illustration shows an example of the spin box control.

Note

The standard Windows Embedded CE list box messages can be used to communicate with the spin box control. For information about these messages, see List Boxes Messages.

The following table lists the Windows Embedded CE styles you apply to the up-down box control to create the spin box control. For an example of how to apply these styles, see How to Create a Spin Box Control.

Style	Description
UDS_ALIGNRIGHT	Positions the up-down control next to the right edge of the buddy control. The width of the buddy control is decreased to accommodate the width of the up-down control.
UDS_EXPANDABLE	Expands the spin box control to a full screen when the user presses the Action key. The standard full screen has a default title. You can specify an alternate title in the up-down control.
UDS_NOSCROLL	Does not display the up, down, left, or right arrow keys. You must use the UDS_NOSCROLL style with the UDS_EXPANDABLE style so that the user can select data. Do not use the UDS_NOSCROLL style with the UDS_HORZ style.
UDS_HORZ	Replaces the up and down arrows with left and right arrows.
UDS_SETBUDDYINT	Causes the list box to scroll the items in the list.
UDS_WRAP	Enables the user to continue to cycle through the list.
