How to make Array control look similar to system spin control

[therealkilkenny]

Hi,

I like the look of the system spin control. I would like to make the Array control look 'similar' (the same arrow buttons etc) rather than having an array of spin controls with different 'looks'. Any way of doing this? Has it already been done?

Thanks.

Personally, I really don't like having the array index values displayed. Using the scroll bars is generally a much better UI design.

If you want to do this however, do this:

1. Create a custom control.
2. Drop a spin control into it.
3. Change its representation to U32 (this step is critical).
4. Save it.
5. Create another custom control.
6. Drop an array container.
7. Click the wrench to change to the customize mode.
8. Right click the index control and select Replace>>Select a Control...
9. Select the custom control you saved at step 4 and it should replace the existing one.
