Hi pras, there are 2 tutorials on user controls at www.codeyourself.com, click visual basic 6 , activex you will come across 2 tutorials, I think you want the second one titled, Spinner control.

I don't know anything about user controls but, u can use a standart text box and in the Key Press sub use the following code:

Select Case KeyAscii

          Case 48 to 57

                 KeyAscii=Keyascii

          Case 46

                KeyAscii=Keyascii

          Case Else

                KeyAscii =0

End Select

The above code is good, but you still need to know how to create a user control.  First, i will assume you are useing vb6.  Click new project > user control.

second - place a textbox on the top left hand corner. set the top and left properties to 0.

Third set the UserControl width and height to match the text box's width and height.

Run the Active X control interface  wizard and assign all the usual properties to the textbox control.  Add the code provided above. Compile the project into an OCX. Voila. Finished.

If it ain't busted...DON'T FIX IT!
