An UpDown control is a pair of arrow buttons that the user clicks to increment or decrement a numerical value in an associated input box control.
The recognition engine will automatically generate an UpDown control where it detects an entry field with the fixed range of numeric values. Setting this property to False on the form will prevent the UpDown control from being generated. A combo box will be displayed on the form instead.
