View, enter, update, or select the value in the spin control. Selection of the up and down arrows of the spin control increases or decreases the value by 1. The masked edit box allows users to type a valid value directly in the spin control. The control allows entry of numeric characters only. Alphabetic and special characters are not allowed. The maximum number of characters allowed (mask) varies by control. Instances in which the mask varies are documented in the description of the specific control.

A spin control control receives focus and is included in the tab order of the screen.
