SYMPTOMS

When you place a spinner with an Increment property less than 1 on a form, the value does not increase.

WORKAROUND

At design time, in the spinner's property sheet, place a Value property that matches the Increment. That is, if the Increment is 0.1, make the Value 0.1.

At run-time, enter a value manually. After that, the display (and value) will be correct.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

A spinner control on a form does not increase the value by the increment unless a value is manually entered or the spinner's value is initialized.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

Create a form.

Add a spinner control, and set these properties:

      Increment = 0.1
      InputMask = 9.9

In the spinner's InteractiveChange event procedure, add this code:
```
      WAIT WINDOW STR(This.Value,3,1)
						
```
Run the form.
Verify that as you click the spinner's up arrow, the value in the Wait window does not change.
Enter 0.1 in the Spinner window, and then click the spinner's up arrow. Verify that the spinner displays correctly.

NOTE: If the spinner has an initial Value property, the spinner displays correctly.
