SpinEditor Maximium Value Property

[Claude]

I have a Spin Editor and want to limit the range from 0 to -16.

If I set Minimium to - 16 and Max to 0, the upper limit goes to 100

If I set Minimium to -16 and Max to 1, the upper limit is 1.

Seems to be a problem.

I can replicate the same issue. Solvable by using the following code though. 

Private Sub RadSpinEditor1_ValueChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadSpinEditor1.ValueChanged

    RadSpinEditor1.Maximum = 0
End Sub

Hi Claude,

The information that you have provided leads me to the thought that you are trying to set the Minumum to a value bigger than the Maximum. However, please note that you cannot set a value for the Minimum greater than the Maximum, and Maximum lower than the Minimum. Initially, the Minimum and Maximum values are set to 0 and 100 respectively, so if you first try to set radSpinEditor.Maximum = 0, this operation will not have impact on RadSpinEditor, because 0 is equal to the Minimum.

You should simply update the properties in the correct order:

radSpinEditor.Minimum = -16;
radSpinEditor.Maximum = 0;

I hope this helps.

To Telerik: - I have already done that, but set it in the properties window, not within the code.  I suggest you try it in a project.

If you set it in code, all is fine. If you set it in the properties window, it does not work.

As a side note, it appears that the issue is the order in which the properties are set in the designer makes a difference. 
When set via the properties, the designer looks like this.. 

'RadSpinEditor1
'
Me.RadSpinEditor1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(257, 312)
Me.RadSpinEditor1.Maximum = New Decimal(New Integer() {0, 0, 0, 0})
Me.RadSpinEditor1.Minimum = New Decimal(New Integer() {16, 0, 0, -2147483648})
Me.RadSpinEditor1.Name = "RadSpinEditor1"

However, if you change over the Min and Max properties to look like this

'RadSpinEditor1
'
Me.RadSpinEditor1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(257, 312)
Me.RadSpinEditor1.Minimum = New Decimal(New Integer() {16, 0, 0, -2147483648})
Me.RadSpinEditor1.Maximum = New Decimal(New Integer() {0, 0, 0, 0})
Me.RadSpinEditor1.Name = "RadSpinEditor1"

Then it behaves correctly.

Hi guys,

Indeed, the way RadSpinEditor works and the order of the serialized Minumum/Maximum properties in the designer do not allow you to set certain values at design-time.

We modified the current logic, so now the Maximum will be updated if the Minimum is greater than Maximum and the Minimum will be updated if the Maximum is lower than the Minimum. Microsoft NumericUpDown control has the same behavior.

I hope this helps.

All the best,
