UpdownConstants.au3 doesn't include anything like that, but you could always just validate the input. When a user changes it to a value that you haven't specified, you can just delete it or throw a MsgBox in their face. muttley

EDIT: I haven't tried this, but you should be able to use the $ES_READONLY attribute for the input box that you create the UpDown control from.

Adding $ES_READONLY worked but I wish it wouldn't have changed the color.

Thanks Airwolf
