There are a number of controls used by MS for edit fields that are restricted to small integer values. The controls appear to have vertical arrows (up and down) that increase/decrease the numeric value. The arrows are NOT scroll bars. Are these standard undocumented controls, or are they used exclusivley by MS. I have a need to use them.... The controls I speak of are in Control Panel/Desktop/Icon Spacing as an example. Any help is greatly appreciated .... divo@hp-vcd.HP.COM (Mark DiVittorio)

However, you can find source code for some spin buttons in Jeff Richter's book _Windows 3: A Developer's Guid_ (ISBN 1-55851-164-4), pages 234-250. For $39.95, the books filled with source, and *includes* three diskettes with it. dave dave@wucs1.wustl.edu

I believe that the controls you're describing are called "spinners" or something like that in the CUA spec. Anyway, please post if you learn anything about them. Terrell
