The Delphi TUpDown control is a thin wrapper for the equivalent Windows control. It suffers from two drawbacks: 1. In real use it is necessary to provide not just the updown control but an edit box so the user can make direct entries if he/she so choose. 2. The up/down arrow buttons do not scale well to all screen resolutions with the result that they can often be virtually unusable. We present an alternative that resolves both these problems.
