Examples

The following code example creates and initializes a DomainUpDown control. The example allows you to set some of its properties and create a collection of strings for display in the spin box. The code assumes that a TextBox, CheckBox, and Button have been instantiated on a form. The example also assumes that you have a member variable at the class level declared as a 32-bit signed integer named myCounter. You can enter a string in the text box and add it to the Items collection when the button is clicked. By clicking the check box, you can toggle the Sorted property and observe the difference in the collection of items in the spin box.

End Sub

Remarks

The SelectedIndex property holds the index value of the item in the collection that is currently selected in the spin box (also known as an up-down control). Collection items can be reassigned new index values if the Sorted property has been changed from false to true. As the collection is re-sorted alphabetically, the items will be assigned a new index value.

Note

If the user has entered an item in the spin box, or if no item has been selected, the SelectedIndex value will be the default value, -1.
