UpDowns with Up/Down keys

[adamski 0]

I want to be able to increase/decrease a number in an input box with the arrow up/down keys. The obvious way is to use a updown control - hidden as I don't want it displayed. The problem is that the $UDS_ARROWKEYS style causes the border of the input box to vanish on the side the updown control is.

Is there a way around this or am I going to have to check for focus and then key presses in my own function?

#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <UpDownConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

GUICreate("Up Down")

; Inputs
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput ( "0", 10, 10, 100, 20, BitOR($ES_RIGHT,$ES_NUMBER))
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput ( "0", 10, 40, 100, 20, BitOR($ES_RIGHT,$ES_NUMBER))
$Input3 = GUICtrlCreateInput ( "0", 10, 70, 100, 20, BitOR($ES_RIGHT,$ES_NUMBER))
$Input4 = GUICtrlCreateInput ( "0", 10, 100, 100, 20, BitOR($ES_RIGHT,$ES_NUMBER))

; UpDowns
$UpDown1 = GUICtrlCreateUpDown($Input1, BitOR($UDS_ARROWKEYS, $UDS_WRAP))
GUICtrlSetLimit ( $UpDown1, 10 , 0)
GUICtrlSetState ( $UpDown1, $GUI_HIDE )

$UpDown2 = GUICtrlCreateUpDown($Input2, $UDS_ARROWKEYS)
GUICtrlSetLimit ( $UpDown2, 10 , 0)
GUICtrlSetState ( $UpDown2, $GUI_HIDE )

$UpDown3 = GUICtrlCreateUpDown($Input3, BitOR($UDS_ARROWKEYS, $UDS_ALIGNLEFT))
GUICtrlSetLimit ( $UpDown3, 10 , 0)
GUICtrlSetState ( $UpDown3, $GUI_HIDE )

$UpDown4 = GUICtrlCreateUpDown($Input4, $UDS_WRAP)
GUICtrlSetLimit ( $UpDown4, 10 , 0)
GUICtrlSetState ( $UpDown4, $GUI_HIDE )

GUISetState() ; Show GUI

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()

    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
WEnd

You could set the Input box to have no border, then use a touch bigger colored label behind it.

#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <UpDownConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

GUICreate("Up Down")

GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 9, 9, 88, 16)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x006699)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)

$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput ( "0", 10, 10, 100, 14, BitOR($ES_RIGHT,$ES_NUMBER), 0)

$UpDown1 = GUICtrlCreateUpDown($Input1, BitOR($UDS_ARROWKEYS, $UDS_WRAP))
GUICtrlSetLimit ( $UpDown1, 10 , 0)
GUICtrlSetState ( $UpDown1, $GUI_HIDE )

GUISetState()
                    
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()

    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
WEnd

Thanks, that did the trick.
