Practical Learning: Creating Spin Buttons

Here is the dialog box as we will design it:

1. On the Controls toolbox, click the Edit Box button and click under the picture
   control and on the left side of the dialog box


2. On the Control toolbox, click the Spin button and click to the right side of the
   IDC_EDIT1 control on the dialog box


3. While the spin button is still selected, press and hold Ctrl. Click the previously added
   edit box and release Ctrl


4. Press Ctrl + C to copy and press Ctrl + V to paste


5. Move the newly two pasted controls to the right


6. Press Ctrl + V to paste again and move the new controls to the right side of the
   others


7. Using the properties window, change the identifiers of the controls, from left to right,
   to IDC_EDIT_RED, IDC_SPIN_RED, IDC_EDIT_GREEN,
   IDC_SPIN_GREEN, IDC_EDIT_BLUE, and IDC_SPIN_BLUE
