Unfortunately this kind of control is pretty rare, so for the average user it would be somewhat foreign and hard to understand, especially if you just drop it in front of them without explanation. I think that the effort I had to go to try to explain it in the first place should probably have tipped me off that it wasn't a very simple solution. Thanks for the feedback. | |

The idea sounds great in principle, but because visual control is a static form control I don't think the users are understanding the intracies of how it operates. They just use it like a scrollbar - shove it to one side and the result ends up at 120,000, then shove it the other way to correct it and the result shoots down to 100 or so. Getting them to understand that it can be used in small increments is the trouble here. If it requires instructions for use then it's no good. | |
