Getting into the first serious WPF project. It seems like there are a lot of basic controls flat out missing. Specifically, I am looking for the Numeric UpDown control. Was there an out of band release that I missed? Really don't feel like writing my own control.

I do not want to use the WindowsFormHost and plop a WinForm ctl on it. I want it to be fully WPF without any legacy junk.

Thanks

The Extented WPF Toolkit has one: NumericUpDown !alt text - Eduardo Molteni

The question is "where is the WPF numeric UpDown control". None of these answers answer that question. I would expect the kind of answer to be of the form "they decided to get rid of it in wpf because ... ". I do not know this answer, however - Assimilater
The WPF Toolkit makes way more problems than it solves, it contains quite a few obvious bugs; and there is no NumericUpDown control from Microsoft... hell, is WPF even alive anymore? - j00hi

Simply use the IntegerUpDown control in the Extended.Wpf.Toolkit You can use it like this:

  1. Add to your XAML the following namespace:

    xmlns:xctk="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/toolkit"

  2. In your XAML where you want the control use:

    <xctk:IntegerUpDown Name="myUpDownControl" />

I made my own;

the xaml

<Grid  Height="23" Margin="152,63,11,0" VerticalAlignment="Top">
    <TextBox x:Name="txtNum" x:FieldModifier="private" Text="0" TextChanged="txtNum_TextChanged" Margin="3,2,13,3" />
    <Button x:Name="cmdUp" x:FieldModifier="private" FontSize="10" Padding="0,-4,0,0" Content="▲" Width="10" Click="cmdUp_Click" Margin="33,2,1,13" />
    <Button x:Name="cmdDown" x:FieldModifier="private" FontSize="10" Padding="0,-4,0,0" Content="▼" Width="10" Click="cmdDown_Click" Margin="33,12,1,3" />
</Grid>

and the code behind

private int _numValue = 0;

public int NumValue
{
    get {  return _numValue; }
    set
    {
        _numValue = value;
        txtNum.Text = value.ToString();
    }
}

public NumberUpDown()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    txtNum.Text = _numValue.ToString();
}

private void cmdUp_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    NumValue++;
}

private void cmdDown_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    NumValue--;
}

private void txtNum_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (txtNum == null)
    {
        return;
    }

    if (!int.TryParse(txtNum.Text, out _numValue))
        txtNum.Text = _numValue.ToString();
}

This is example of my own UserControl with Up and Down key catching.

Xaml code:

<Grid>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
        <ColumnDefinition Width="13" />
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="13" />
        <RowDefinition Height="13" />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <TextBox Name="NUDTextBox"  Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="2" TextAlignment="Right" PreviewKeyDown="NUDTextBox_PreviewKeyDown" PreviewKeyUp="NUDTextBox_PreviewKeyUp" TextChanged="NUDTextBox_TextChanged"/>
    <RepeatButton Name="NUDButtonUP"  Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" FontSize="8" FontFamily="Marlett" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" Click="NUDButtonUP_Click">5</RepeatButton>
    <RepeatButton Name="NUDButtonDown"  Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" FontSize="8"  FontFamily="Marlett" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" Height="13" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Click="NUDButtonDown_Click">6</RepeatButton>
</Grid>

And the code:

public partial class NumericUpDown : UserControl
{
    int minvalue = 0, 
        maxvalue = 100,
        startvalue = 10;
    public NumericUpDown()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        NUDTextBox.Text = startvalue.ToString();
    }

    private void NUDButtonUP_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        int number;
        if (NUDTextBox.Text != "") number = Convert.ToInt32(NUDTextBox.Text);
        else number = 0;
        if (number < maxvalue)
            NUDTextBox.Text = Convert.ToString(number + 1); 
    }

    private void NUDButtonDown_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        int number;
        if (NUDTextBox.Text != "") number = Convert.ToInt32(NUDTextBox.Text);
        else number = 0;
        if (number > minvalue)
            NUDTextBox.Text = Convert.ToString(number - 1); 
    }

    private void NUDTextBox_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
    {

        if (e.Key == Key.Up)
        {
            NUDButtonUP.RaiseEvent(new RoutedEventArgs(Button.ClickEvent));
            typeof(Button).GetMethod("set_IsPressed", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).Invoke(NUDButtonUP, new object[] { true }); 
        }


        if (e.Key == Key.Down)
        {
            NUDButtonDown.RaiseEvent(new RoutedEventArgs(Button.ClickEvent));
            typeof(Button).GetMethod("set_IsPressed", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).Invoke(NUDButtonDown, new object[] { true }); 
        }
    }

    private void NUDTextBox_PreviewKeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Key == Key.Up)
            typeof(Button).GetMethod("set_IsPressed", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).Invoke(NUDButtonUP, new object[] { false });

        if (e.Key == Key.Down)
            typeof(Button).GetMethod("set_IsPressed", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).Invoke(NUDButtonDown, new object[] { false });
    }

    private void NUDTextBox_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        int number = 0;
        if (NUDTextBox.Text!="")
            if (!int.TryParse(NUDTextBox.Text, out number)) NUDTextBox.Text = startvalue.ToString();
        if (number > maxvalue)  NUDTextBox.Text = maxvalue.ToString();
        if (number < minvalue) NUDTextBox.Text = minvalue.ToString();
        NUDTextBox.SelectionStart = NUDTextBox.Text.Length;

    }

The given answers are OK. However, I wanted the buttons to auto hide, when mouse leave the control. Here is my code based on vercin answer above:

You can use NumericUpDown control for WPF written by me as a part of WPFControls library.

Use VerticalScrollBar with the TextBlock control in WPF. In your code behind, add the following code:

In the constructor, define an event handler for the scrollbar:

scrollBar1.ValueChanged += new RoutedPropertyChangedEventHandler<double>(scrollBar1_ValueChanged);
scrollBar1.Minimum = 0;
scrollBar1.Maximum = 1;
scrollBar1.SmallChange = 0.1;

Then in the event handler, add:

void scrollBar1_ValueChanged(object sender, RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs<double> e)
{
    FteHolderText.Text = scrollBar1.Value.ToString();
}

Here is the original snippet from my code... make necessary changes.. :)

public NewProjectPlan()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(NewProjectPlan_Loaded);

    scrollBar1.ValueChanged += new RoutedPropertyChangedEventHandler<double>(scrollBar1_ValueChanged);
    scrollBar1.Minimum = 0;
    scrollBar1.Maximum = 1;
    scrollBar1.SmallChange = 0.1;

    // etc...
}

void scrollBar1_ValueChanged(object sender, RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs<double> e)
{
    FteHolderText.Text = scrollBar1.Value.ToString();
}

Apologize for keep answering 9 years questions.

I have follow @Michael's answer and it works.

I do it as UserControl where I can drag and drop like a Controls elements. I use MaterialDesign Theme from Nuget to get the Chevron icon and button ripple effect.

The running NumericUpDown from Micheal with modification will be as below:-

enter image description here

            }

            if (!int.TryParse(txtNum.Text, out _numValue))
                txtNum.Text = _numValue.ToString();
        }
    }
}

On MyPageDesign.xaml, drag and drop created usercontrol will having <UserControlTemplate:TemplateNumericUpDown HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="100" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100"/>

enter image description here

To get the value from the template, I use

string Value1 = JournalNumStart.NumValue;
string Value2 = JournalNumEnd.NumValue;

I'm not in good skill yet to binding the Height of the control based from FontSize element, so I set the from my page fontsize manually in usercontrol.

** Note:- I have change the "Archieve" name to Archive on my program =)

Let's enjoy some hacky things:
Here is a Style of Slider as a NumericUpDown, simple and easy to use, without any hidden code or third party library.

<Style TargetType="{x:Type Slider}">
    <Style.Resources>
        <Style x:Key="RepeatButtonStyle" TargetType="{x:Type RepeatButton}">
            <Setter Property="Focusable" Value="false" />
            <Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="false" />
            <Setter Property="Padding" Value="0" />
            <Setter Property="Width" Value="20" />
        </Style>
    </Style.Resources>
    <Setter Property="Stylus.IsPressAndHoldEnabled" Value="false" />
    <Setter Property="SmallChange" Value="1" />
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Slider}">
                <Grid>
                    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                        <RowDefinition />
                        <RowDefinition />
                    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <ColumnDefinition />
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
                    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <TextBox Grid.RowSpan="2" Height="Auto"
                                Margin="0" Padding="0"
                                VerticalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalContentAlignment="Center"
                                Text="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=TemplatedParent}, Path=Value}">
                        <TextBox.InputBindings>
                            <KeyBinding Gesture="Up" Command="{x:Static Slider.IncreaseSmall}" />
                            <KeyBinding Gesture="Down" Command="{x:Static Slider.DecreaseSmall}" />
                            <KeyBinding Gesture="PageUp" Command="{x:Static Slider.IncreaseLarge}" />
                            <KeyBinding Gesture="PageDown" Command="{x:Static Slider.DecreaseLarge}" />
                        </TextBox.InputBindings>
                    </TextBox>
                    <RepeatButton Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1"
                                    Command="{x:Static Slider.IncreaseSmall}"
                                    Style="{StaticResource RepeatButtonStyle}">
                        <Path Data="M4,0 L0,4 8,4 Z" Fill="Black" />
                    </RepeatButton>
                    <RepeatButton Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1"
                                    Command="{x:Static Slider.DecreaseSmall}"
                                    Style="{StaticResource RepeatButtonStyle}">
                        <Path Data="M0,0 L4,4 8,0 Z" Fill="Black" />
                    </RepeatButton>
                    <Border x:Name="TrackBackground" Visibility="Collapsed">
                        <Rectangle x:Name="PART_SelectionRange" Visibility="Collapsed" />
                    </Border>
                    <Thumb x:Name="Thumb" Visibility="Collapsed" />
                </Grid>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

If you want apply input restrictions on TextBox indeed, try this:

public static class InputLimit
{
    public static string GetDecimalValueProxy(TextBox obj) => (string)obj.GetValue(DecimalValueProxyProperty);

    public static void SetDecimalValueProxy(TextBox obj, string value) => obj.SetValue(DecimalValueProxyProperty, value);

    // Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for DecimalValueProxy.  This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
    public static readonly DependencyProperty DecimalValueProxyProperty =
        DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("DecimalValueProxy", typeof(string), typeof(InputLimit),
            new FrameworkPropertyMetadata("0", FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.BindsTwoWayByDefault, null, CoerceDecimalValueProxy));

    private static object CoerceDecimalValueProxy(DependencyObject d, object baseValue)
    {
        if (decimal.TryParse(baseValue as string, out _)) return baseValue;
        return DependencyProperty.UnsetValue;
    }
}

And modify xaml TextBox part to:

<TextBox Grid.RowSpan="2" Height="Auto"
            Margin="0" Padding="0"
            VerticalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalContentAlignment="Center"
            local:InputLimit.DecimalValueProxy="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=TemplatedParent}, Path=Value}"
            Text="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=(local:InputLimit.DecimalValueProxy), UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}">

I have a naive solution but useful. Here is the code:

<Grid Name="TVGrid" Background="#7F000000">  <ScrollBar Background="Black" Orientation="Vertical" Height="35" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="215,254,0,0" Minimum="0" Maximum="10" LargeChange="10" Value="{Binding ElementName=channeltext2, Path=Text}" x:Name="scroll" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="12" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" ValueChanged="scroll_ValueChanged" >  
        <ScrollBar.RenderTransform>  
            <TransformGroup>  
                <ScaleTransform/>  
                <SkewTransform/>  
                <RotateTransform Angle="-180"/>  
                <TranslateTransform/>  
            </TransformGroup>  
        </ScrollBar.RenderTransform>  
    </ScrollBar>  
    <TextBox Name="channeltext" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" FontSize="20"  Background="Black" Foreground="White" Height="35" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="147,254,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="53" Text="0" />  
    <TextBox Name="channeltext2" Visibility="Hidden" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" FontSize="20"  Background="Black" Foreground="White" Height="35" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="147,254,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="53" Text="0" />  </Grid>

Here is another open source control that has many different input methods (mouse drag, mouse wheel, cursor keys, textbox editing), supports many data types and use cases:

Just a pragmatic to do sample:

-Right click your Project (under Solution), select "Manage nuget Packages..."

-In Menu click Browse Tab search for "wpftoolkit", select "Extended.Wpf.Toolkit"

-Install it!

-Right click in your User Control Toolbox, select "Add Tab.." and name it "WPF Toolkit"

-Right click on the new "WPF Toolkit" Tab, select "Choose items..."

-In Menu click "Browse..." Button, look for nugets DLL folder, select all "...\packages\Extended.Wpf.Toolkit.3.5.0\lib\net40\*.dll"

Ignore Warnings about some DLLs may not containing user controls!

Ready :)

Go to NugetPackage manager of you project-> Browse and search for mahApps.Metro -> install package into you project. You will see Reference added: MahApps.Metro. Then in you XAML code add:

"xmlns:mah="http://metro.mahapps.com/winfx/xaml/controls"

Where you want to use your object add:

<mah:NumericUpDown x:Name="NumericUpDown" ... /> 

Enjoy the full extensibility of the object (Bindings, triggers and so on...).
