A spinner control type is identified by TYPE_SPINNER and a slider control type is identified by TYPE_SLIDER. Both control types have similar requirements. They require a spinner type identifier (EditSpinnerType), list of dialog item resource IDs, and a number of ticks. The spinner type identifier can be one of the values described below:

• EDITTYPE_INT - Any integer value.
• EDITTYPE_FLOAT - Any floating point value.
• EDITTYPE_UNIVERSE - This is a value in world space units. It respects the system's unit settings (for example feet and inches).
• EDITTYPE_POS_INT - Any non-negative integer.
• EDITTYPE_POS_FLOAT - Any non-negative floating point value.
• EDITTYPE_POS_UNIVERSE - This is a positive value in world space units. It respects the system's unit settings (for example feet and inches) .
• EDITTYPE_TIME - This is a time value. It respects the system time settings (SMPTE for example).

The list of dialog item IDs depends on the ParamType of the parameter. For TYPE_POINT3 and TYPE_RGBA, you must supply 3 pairs of IDs, one for each coordinate, each pair specifying the edit box and slider IDs. For the other parameter types you specify one edit box/slider pair of IDs.

For example

... p_ui,TYPE_SPINNER, EDITTYPE_UNIVERSE, IDC_EDITBOX, IDC_SPINNER, <number ofticks> ...

For Point3 you can do the following:

... p_ui,TYPE_SPINNER, EDITTYPE_UNIVERSE, IDC_EDITBOX1, IDC_SLIDER1, IDC_EDITBOX2, IDC_SLIDER2, IDC_EDITBOX3, IDC_SLIDER3, <number of ticks> ...

A spinner or slider can be used with any of the following parameter types:

• TYPE_ANGLE
• TYPE_PCNT_FRAC
• TYPE_COLOR_CHANNEL
• TYPE_FLOAT
• TYPE_TIMEVALUE
• TYPE_INT
• TYPE_POINT3
• TYPE_RGBA
