Is there any way to disable the arrows of an UpDown control separately?
If the minimum number is reached then one arrow is greyed while the other is active and vice-versa?

Ciao,

number of what reached?
specifically state what to be done please

he wants an edit control with a gui window, and a buddy control (UpDown that changes the edit. if he clicks down to some (configurable) minimum value, the down button is disabled. If he clicks up to some maximum value, the up button is disabled.

I don't know how to do it, though.

That's the correct idea, engunneer! Although I have it attached to a GroupBox with the UpDown changing it's "Title" {as well as the contents through my code}. I wasn't sure if disabling the arrows separately could be done or not, but I was certainly hoping. It's not really a major thing with my script, just something that would be nice to add to it.

You could perhaps have two separate buttons imitating an updown control, one button for up and one button for down (perhaps with ^/v as labels). Then the buttons could have labels which would add (or subtract) one from the value of your variable. The buttons could also be individually disabled this way.

You could perhaps have two (/four) separate images imitating toggled buttons of an updown control.

Are you 2 twins or sumpin' ? Those suggestions are just too similar.

I hadn't thought of that, but it just might be what I need to do. I can definitely make a set of images to look like buttons {normal and disabled for each} and put them into an icon library. Thanks a bunch!

(triplets, btw)

You could combine the two ideas and have your regular up/down control, and two images of disabled up/down arrows to cover the working control when you need one of them disabled.

So the up/down control would be playing 'peekaboo'
