Spin controls (ActiveX)

The Spin-Control widget consists of two buttons marked with arrowheads, optionally attached to a readout field that displays an INTEGER value. You can think of the buttons as being a form of scroll bar, without the actual bar or thumb. Pressing one of the buttons causes the value in the readout fields to change by some amount you set (default 1) within the subrange –10000 to 10000. Unlike a scroll bar or a slider control, a spin control offers no analog, at-a-glance information. You might use a spin control in cases where you wish to allow the user to set some value that changes in integer steps other than 1.

See the "Configuring an ActiveX object instance" section for an example of using the spin control.
