How about two buttons?

One called 'increase' (with a down arrow) and one called 'decrease' (with an up arrow). Make the height of the text field equal to the height of the two buttons. Put the buttons to the right of the text box.

When the 'increase' button is pressed, use the command 'set_item_property(height)' to change the height of the text field (until you reach a maximum). The 'decrease' button would decrease the height until it reached a minimum.

Remember to do a 'synchronize' so that the screen is refreshed.

Thanks David,
i want to only increase/decrease the percentage value in the text box, not the height of textbox itself. I can do that using increment or decrementing on click of the button.
But ,want to achieve the same using scrollbar.

Going by your suggestion, do how do i get arrows on the button?? do you want me to make it iconic and add an arrow image?

Right now I am trying to implement it using a multiline text box .If i could populate the multiline text box with 1 to 100 values on form load, i think it would work.But again iam stuck here. i dont know how to implement this.

what do you suggest?

I don't know what this means.

Do you want a "Progress Bar"?

Search this forum for 'progress' and you will find http://www.orafaq.com/forum/m/126649/67467/?srch=progress#msg_126649 and http://www.orafaq.com/forum/m/120834/67467/?srch=progress#msg_120834.

Yes, use iconic buttons with arrow pictures on them.
