Layout of NumericUpDown ControlHi 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.
