NumericUpDown::Value Property

 

Gets or sets the value assigned to the spin box (also known as an up-down control).

Namespace:   System.Windows.Forms
Assembly:  System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)

public:
[BindableAttribute(true)]
property Decimal Value {
	Decimal get();
	void set(Decimal value);
}

Property Value

Type: System::Decimal

The numeric value of the NumericUpDown control.

Exception Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The assigned value is less than the Minimum property value.

-or-

The assigned value is greater than the Maximum property value.

When the Value property is set, the new value is validated to be between the Minimum and Maximum values. Following this, the UpdateEditText method is called to update the spin box's display with the new value in the appropriate format.

The following code example creates and initializes a NumericUpDown control, sets some of its common properties, and allows the user to change some of these properties at run time. This code assumes three CheckBox controls have been placed on a form and handlers for their Click events have been instantiated. The DecimalPlaces, ThousandsSeparator, and Hexadecimal properties are set on the Click event of each check box.

public:
   void InstantiateMyNumericUpDown()
   {
      // Create and initialize a NumericUpDown control.
      numericUpDown1 = gcnew NumericUpDown;

      // Dock the control to the top of the form.
      numericUpDown1->Dock = System::Windows::Forms::DockStyle::Top;

      // Set the Minimum, Maximum, and initial Value.
      numericUpDown1->Value = 5;
      numericUpDown1->Maximum = 2500;
      numericUpDown1->Minimum = -100;

      // Add the NumericUpDown to the Form.
      Controls->Add( numericUpDown1 );
   }

private:
   // Check box to toggle decimal places to be displayed.
   void checkBox1_Click( Object^ sender, EventArgs^ e )
   {
      /* If DecimalPlaces is greater than 0, set them to 0 and round the 
         current Value; otherwise, set DecimalPlaces to 2 and change the 
         Increment to 0.25. */
      if ( numericUpDown1->DecimalPlaces > 0 )
      {
         numericUpDown1->DecimalPlaces = 0;
         numericUpDown1->Value = Decimal::Round( numericUpDown1->Value, 0 );
      }
      else
      {
         numericUpDown1->DecimalPlaces = 2;
         numericUpDown1->Increment = Decimal(0.25);
      }
   }

   // Check box to toggle thousands separators to be displayed.
   void checkBox2_Click( Object^ sender, EventArgs^ e )
   {
      /* If ThousandsSeparator is true, set it to false; 
         otherwise, set it to true. */
      if ( numericUpDown1->ThousandsSeparator )
      {
         numericUpDown1->ThousandsSeparator = false;
      }
      else
      {
         numericUpDown1->ThousandsSeparator = true;
      }
   }

   // Check box to toggle hexadecimal to be displayed.
   void checkBox3_Click( Object^ sender, EventArgs^ e )
   {
      /* If Hexadecimal is true, set it to false; 
         otherwise, set it to true. */
      if ( numericUpDown1->Hexadecimal )
      {
         numericUpDown1->Hexadecimal = false;
      }
      else
      {
         numericUpDown1->Hexadecimal = true;
      }
   }
