The parameter VisibleEntries defines the upper count of entries to be displayed (example above: 2). Attention: if there are less entries than (2*VisibleEntries+1), then height of SpinBox will be reduced automatically. BorderX specifies the distance between the entry and the box edge and the icon. Distance defines the distance of the boxes within the SpinBox group.
#ESO |
Obj-ID, ItemNumber |
The command selects an entry (ItemNumber).

#EPS |
Obj-ID, Type, Iconanchor, Textanchor, TextStyle-No., DrawStyle-No. Background, DrawStyle-No. Selection, DrawStyle-No. Scrollbar, <Note string> |
The command sets the appearance of the PictureBox. Three DrawStyles are required. The background of the PictreBox (DrawStyle-No. Background), the appearance of the selected entry (DrawStyle-No. Selection) and the scrollbar (DrawStyle No. Scrollbar) are defined. The structure is described in more detail in the subsection DrawStyle. The appearance of the label is determined with the TextStyle (TextStyle No.). This is explained in more detail in the TextStyle subsection. The second parameter Type specifies the alignment and scrolling behaviour. The touch hysteresis can be specified in the HighByte, i.e. how many pixels shift are needed until a shift is actually recognized, a value of 3 is useful by default.

#EPP |
Obj-ID, x, y, Anchor, Radius, ScrollbarWidth, VisibleEntries, DistanceX, DistanceY, Time(0) |
The PictureBox defined with the commands #EPSand #EPD is placed in with the given Anchor at x, y. The Radius parameter gives the corner rounding. ScrollbarWidth specifies in pixels the width of the scrollbar. The width +256 changes the position of the scrollbar to the left or top. If the value is negative, no line is present as a separator between the box and the scroll area. The VisibleEntries parameter defines the number of visible entries. The two parameters (DistanceX and DistanceY) can be used to specify the distance of the entry to the edge of the box and below the individual entries. The parameter Time can be used to define the scrolling speed to a programmatically selected new entry.
#EPO |
Obj-ID, ItemNumber |
The command selects a new entry (ItemNumber).
