I need a control for positive and negative

hi

Why don't U have a checkbox .

If checkbox is checked selected -ve  numbers are selected
if unchecked +ve numbers are selected

I want something that is more visually acceptable then a spin control

I mean then a check box -- sorry too much on my mind lol

Hi Dak_Programmer,

Why not just take a button, set its text to "+" and if pressed set its text to "-"...

ZOPPO

That is too ambiguous -- it needs to be extremely user friendly

Hi,

Then select the one which u feel is interactive,

1. U can have two radio buttons each for +ve and -ve.
2. U can have the tool bar button if it is in pressed state then     +ve else -ve or vise-versa
3. U can have two strings in the combo box as "+ve" and "-ve"     and allow the user to select the option.
4. If u want that selection through menu, u can check and        uncheck the menu items.
5. Depending on the selection from any method, u can display it     to user in the status bar using a pane text.

How about using Microsoft Forms 2.0 Toggle button?
I think it best suits for UR app
Regards

1. I am currently using two radio buttons with a push-like style.  It works ok but I was wondering if there was anything better.

2. I don't want anything activex that has to be installed with the program.  This is for software that is released out to the general public

Just about anything is possible.  You don't seem to like the radio buttons, the check box, the toggle button.

Why don't you specify what you'd like it to look like and then perhaps someone could help you figure out how to do that?

Indeed. What is it that you want Dak_Programmer? Do you want someone to write it for you? Then, you need to provide a spec--and, it seems, more than 200 points.  If you want better suggstions, then you need to provide more information about what your requirements really are.

Me, I'd make a regular pushbutton. It would have a "+" on it, and would change to a "-" when the user clicked on it. And back to a "+" when the the user clicked again.

If you want "something better", you need to tell us what you would consider "better". Better is really in the eye of the beholder.

Also, note that there's nothing wrong sending an app that's dependent on an ActiveX control out to the public. Just install it with your setup program--and you have to write a setup program, anyway, since you're using MFC and the C runtime libraries.

I think that I will just have to stick with the radio button interface.  It really stinks but oh well.

Didn't you want to be helped?

All the ideas I am getting are just the same that I have already tried.  I thought that maybe someone had already done it a different way.  But I guess not

Someone want to answer this for some points -- Zoppo I am using your previous answer -- so if you want the points just present me with an answer.

I don't know why you gave me the pts.  Please contact EE support and let them fix this mess.

Nah, that's ok -- I just wanted to get rid of the question -- don't worry about it

:(

Hi,

I have posted a question for Zoppo in this topic area (Q.10252950) so he/she can claim the points for this question.

Dak_Programmer,

It is very important to give the points to the expert that answered the question, this rewards the expert for the time and effort they have put it. If you want to give points to an expert that has not submitted an answer, simply click the "accept comment as answer" link above each comment.

I accidently gave it to the wrong person.  Any way that I can get the points back so that I can give them to ZOPPO??

i have already done so.

Ian

Thanks -- Case closed now right??

Yes
