How to set the Foreground Color of the NumericUpDown in C#?
In Windows Forms, NumericUpDown control is used to provide a Windows spin box or an up-down control which displays the numeric values. Or in other words, NumericUpDown control provides an interface which moves using up and down arrow and holds some pre-defined numeric value. In NumericUpDown control, you can set the foreground color using ForeColor Property, which makes you control more attractive. You can set this property in two different ways:
1. Design-Time: It is the easiest way to set the foreground color of the NumericUpDown as shown in the following steps:
- Step 1: Create a windows form as shown in the below image:
Visual Studio -> File -> New -> Project -> WindowsFormApp
- Step 2: Next, drag and drop the NumericUpDown control from the toolbox on the form as shown in the below image:
- Step 3: After drag and drop you will go to the properties of the NumericUpDown and set the foreground color of the NumericUpDown as shown in the below image:
Output:
2. Run-Time: It is a little bit trickier than the above method. In this method, you can set the foreground color of the NumericUpDown control programmatically with the help of given syntax:
public override System.Drawing.Color ForeColor { get; set; }
Here, Color indicates the foreground color of the NumericUpDown control. The following steps show how to set the foreground color of the NumericUpDown dynamically:
- Step 1: Create a NumericUpDown using the NumericUpDown() constructor is provided by the NumericUpDown class.
// Creating a NumericUpDown NumericUpDown n = new NumericUpDown();
- Step 2: After creating NumericUpDown, set the ForeColor property of the NumericUpDown provided by the NumericUpDown class.
// Setting the foreground color n.ForeColor = Color.DarkGreen;
- Step 3: And last add this NumericUpDown control to the form using the following statement:
// Adding NumericUpDown // control on the form this.Controls.Add(n);

Point(386, 130);
n.Size =
new
Size(126, 26);
n.Font =
new

, 12);
n.Value = 18;
n.Minimum = 18;
n.Maximum = 30;
n.BackColor = Color.LightGreen;
n.ForeColor = Color.DarkGreen;
