SpinDown, SpinUp events, Delay property example

  • Article

The following example demonstrates the time interval between successive Change, SpinUp and SpinDown events that occur when a user holds down the mouse button to change the value of a SpinButton or ScrollBar.

In this example, the user chooses a delay setting, and then clicks and holds down either side of a SpinButton. The SpinUp and SpinDown events are recorded in a ListBox as they are initiated.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Declarations portion of a form. Make sure that the form contains:

  • A SpinButton named SpinButton1.
  • Two OptionButton controls named OptionButton1 and OptionButton2.
  • A ListBox named ListBox1.
Dim EventCount As Long 
 
Private Sub ResetControl() 
 ListBox1.Clear 
 EventCount = 0 
 SpinButton1.Value = 5000 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() 
 SpinButton1.Min = 0 
 SpinButton1.Max = 10000 
 ResetControl 
 
 SpinButton1.Delay = 50 
 OptionButton1.Caption = "50 millisecond delay" 
 OptionButton2.Caption = "250 millisecond delay" 
 
 OptionButton1.Value = True 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub OptionButton1_Click() 
 SpinButton1.Delay = 50 
 ResetControl 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub OptionButton2_Click() 
 SpinButton1.Delay = 250 
 ResetControl 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub SpinButton1_SpinDown() 
 EventCount = EventCount + 1 
 ListBox1.AddItem EventCount 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub SpinButton1_SpinUp() 
 EventCount = EventCount + 1 
 ListBox1.AddItem EventCount 
End Sub
