Latest version : V4.0, Dec. 19, 2000

Here is what it looks like:
PlusSpinEdit 

Various display aspects such as color and font can be controlled by the developer, similar to usual Delphi controls.

What the user sees is an edit box with spin buttons on its right. Editing the value is done with the keyboard (arrow keys, numbers) or with the mouse (mainly with the spin buttons).

A blue box indicates the active digit when the control has focus; it changes to an underline when it does not have focus.

With the up and down arrow keys you scroll the active digit. This is also achieved by clicking the spin buttons with the mouse, or turning the mouse wheel. You change which digit is active with the left and right arrows, or by clicking on a digit with the mouse. You may also enter a value by typing numbers from the keyboard.

Pressing Ctrl-0 will reset to zero all the digits to the right of the active one. This may also be done by double clicking a digit.

The component can be set to work in any number base from 2 to 20. This includes decimal, hexadecimal, octal, binary. The default base is decimal.
