Up / Down character boxes - Visual Basic 2010
I want to have a form that has two text boxes side by side. Both text boxes will have an up arrow above them, and a down arrow below.
I want the user to have to use the up and down arrows to scroll through some single character - not type into the boxes manually.
On the first box, the user should be able to scroll up or down to pick letters A, E, I, O or U.
Depending on what letter is in box 1, depends on what values are available for box 2.
How would I achieve this?

Use combo boxes and once the user selects the value from the first combo box, clear out the second combo box (for user friendliness, you'd want to, by default, populate the second combo box with the values that match the displayed item in the first combo box) and populate the values that go with the choice.
What you want is the ButtonSpinner control from extended WPF Toolkit

Both of these solutions appear to use arrows to the side of the text - whereas I want to have the up and down arrows above and below the text respectively.
You could easily build a UserControl that encapsulates a Label and Buttons laid out exactly as you desire...

It's a Windows Form...
Oh, then you want the NumericUpDown class.

If you scroll to the bottom, there's example code.
