A SpinEdit editor allows you to operate with numeric values.
This document demonstrates how to create a SpinEdit control and customize it to show currency values.
Follow the steps listed below:
Steps 1-3. Create a New Project and Add a SpinEdit
-
Run MS Visual Studio 2010.
-
Create a new WPF Application project. For this, choose New Project on the File menu or press Ctrl+Shift+N, and then choose WPF Application.
-
Add a SpinEdit component to the project.
To do this, open the Visual Studio toolbox, locate the "DX: Common Controls" tab, choose the SpinEdit toolbox item and drop it onto the window.

<dxe:SpinEdit HorizontalAlignment="Center" Name="spinEdit1" Width="200" Height="40" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Grid>
</Window>

Steps 4-6. Customize the SpinEdit
-
Right click the SpinEdit and select Properties. Set the BaseEdit.DisplayFormatString property to 'c2' to display currency values.
-
Set the SpinEdit.Increment property to 0.01 to specify a value by which the editor's value changes each time the editor is spun.
