Variable increment step in WinForm NumericUpDown control depending on whether Shift/Ctrl/etc. are pressed

What I want is somewhat similar to what happens in a WinForm designer in Visual Studio, say VS2010. If I place a button and select it and use arrow keys, it will move around by 5 pixels in whatever direction I chose by pressing the right key. Now, if I hold either a Shift or a Ctrl modifier as I do that (forgot which one, sorry), then the button will move only by 1 pixel at a time.

I want this to happen with my NumericUpDown control in a C# WinForm app. Let's say a default increment is 100.0, and a smaller increment is 10.0. An even smaller increment (if possible) can be 1.0. Any hin开发者_高级运维ts on how can I do that?

Hopefully I do not need to ask this as a separate question: I am also toying with the idea of having the increment be dependent on the current value entered. Say, I can enter a dollar amount anywhere between 1 and 100 billion. I then want the default, small, and smaller increment values be dependent on the value entered. I can figure out the exact formula myself.

Derive your own class from NumericUpDown and override the UpButton() and DownButton() methods:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

public class MyUpDown : NumericUpDown {
    public override void UpButton() {
        decimal inc = this.Increment;
        if ((Control.ModifierKeys & Keys.Control) == Keys.Control) this.Increment *= 10;
        base.UpButton();
        this.Increment = inc;
    }
    // TODO: DownButton
}

Tweak as necessary to give other keys different effects.

This is a bit crude but it's a little simpler than the other answer (not better though) and for the 2nd part of the question you just need to replace the 100/10/1 with a calculation based on the current value.

Set the default incrememnt to 100 (or whatever) and in the keydown event of the NumericUpDown (nUpDown)

private void nUpDown_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Control && e.KeyCode == Keys.Up)
        nUpDown.Value += 10;

    else if (e.Control && e.KeyCode == Keys.Down)
        nUpDown.Value -= 10;

    else if (e.Shift && e.KeyCode == Keys.Up)
        nUpDown.Value += 1;

    else if (e.Shift && e.KeyCode == Keys.Down)
        nUpDown.Value -= 1;
}
