Layout of NumericUpDown Control

[Samuel Shulman]

Hi everyone,

I forever wander why Microsoft designed the NumericUpDown control to have
the Increment/decrement arrows on the right and the value is aligned to the
left

Another thing to consider is what look most familiar to the user.

Can anyone advise me of which layout is normally used and when

Thank you,
Samuel Shulman

For a person who uses the mouse in their right hand, the natural 'side' is
the right.

For a person who uses the mouse in their left hand, the natural 'side' is
the left.

You can control which side the arrows are on by setting the UpDownAlign
property (which has a default of right) to the required value.
