Need a numerical updown that displays fractions

I need a numerical updown control that displays fractions.

If the increment is 1/16 it would display 1/16, 1/32, 3/16, 1/4...

I thought I might inherit from a NumericalUpDown control and place a label
on top of the display and put the text in that.

Sounds kind of kluged.

Anyone have a better approach?

Thank in advance

Just Me,
Have you considered using a DomainUpDown instead, then initialize it with
the fractions expected?

Hope this helps

job.

I've been searching in vain for a way to present typographically correct fractions (not resorting to <sup> and <sub> tags) but have been frustrated by the fact that the glyphs for one-half, one-eighth, three-quarters, etc. do not display in the correct typeface (or even consistently the same typeface) and seem totally resistant to attempt to fix this through CSS: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"...

Hi, is it possible to have two fractions, which (mathematically) have the order a/b < c/d (a,b,c,d integers), but when (correctly) converted into floating point representation just have the opposite order? The idea is that the two fractions are almost identical and that the error introduced by going to floating point representation is bigger than the exact difference, but different for the two fractions such that it somehow turns...

Here it is cleaned up a little more. Here's what this code does. It will take 2 fractions and add, subtract, multiply, or divide them. The user enters the fractions to be calculated into two textboxes. These can be entered as a whole number and a proper fraction, whole number and an improper fraction, just a proper/inproper fraction, or just a whole number.
