I have created a TListBox component that has a list of numbers from 1 to
10.  I want the user to be able to select a number just by scrolling the
box up or down, rather than actually highlighting a number.  So, I have
used the IntegralHeight property to show just one number at a time, and
then I use the TopIndex property to figure out which number is showing.
This works fine, except that the user can still click on a number and
highlight it (which I don't want him to be able to do).

I thought about placing a transparent panel overlaying the text portion
(items) of the TListBox allowing only the scroll up/down buttons to show
through, so as to intercept the user's click on the items.  Is this the
only way?  Intuitively, it seems to me that there must be an easier
approach.  Also, is there a way to specify that the user can only
select, say, 3 items in the listbox?  If there were a variable to
specify this, I could just set it to 0, and solve my problem that way.

Thanks

Hi., Victor!

A TEdit associated with a TUpDown probably does what you are looking
for. Have you tried that?

Hi Victor

I would use TUpDown. I saves reinventing the wheel.
