What I would want in a NumericUpDown is the ability to set a factor for the up and down buttons rather than adding/subtracting a value, multiply/divide by the factor.
So, for instance, I can set it to double/halve the value.
On the other hand, I have only one place I want that, so it's not a high priority for me.

With this custom control you could do just that.

Should not be too difficult to implement, just clone the GitHub repo and add a new property named Factor, if it has a value use it in the AddValue() method

A factor? Or maybe increment/decrement the digit on which the cursor is?

I've started using semi-opaque backgrounds (UWP) on my app's "tool boxes" (user controls). The buttons (with icons) reflect the transparency while the icons remain fully opaque. It actually works (with a border); the visuals behind can be made out (a topo map in this case) so you don't have to scroll or drag things out of the way. Like a HUD. Probably "gained" 25% screen space. A different experience.

It sounds complicated but it's just using an "acrylic" Brush (available in UWP) instead of a regular "solid color brush" for the background. The same facility can be added to WPF using the "community tool kit".
Or you can fake it varying the opacity of the background of a control ... though the "acrylic" brush seems to be a bit more "glassy".

In your spare time ?
Alt + up/down ... +- by factor #1
Control up/down... +- by factor #2
Then handle Alt + Control and right/left key variations

Nice suggestions, but my problem is where to find the time, we are in the midst of a very time consuming upgrade from .NET 4.8 to .NET 6, and so far it hasn't exactly been a smooth ride (due the complex nature of our main application).

Have you got a licence Paul ?

No, I realized how expensive and time-consuming a hobby it is, and stopped before I took the final test.
It's fun though! If you haven't tried it, check with your local airport - most have a small flight school that'll do a one-hour introductory lesson for the price of a good meal out for two. Don't blame me if you get addicted though!

I tried that some years ago on fixed wing aircraft. But when I calculated how much it would code to get my licence I decided to feed the family instead.

No chance of me getting addicted, despite the fact my background is Aircraft engineering ( Concorde et al ) I don't like flying unless there is no alternative

I dedicate this message to "Stooge" Moe Howard, pie-thrower extrordinaire: [^]
fyi: I use VS/64.17.4.4 now. Couldn't live without it, and ReSharper. I am programming only in WinForms.
I speak of what I experience with VS in the last few years that, now, creates the current visual "pies in the face." I speak of both now, when I have visual impairment (awaiting surgical correction), and have to use Windows' "High Contrast" mode ... and, then, when I had no visual impairment.
1) background check: the first versions of VS used SilverLight for the IDE/editor; there were all kinds of visual glitches. When I finally started using a 4k screen notebook, there were, and still are, problems with screen display/scaling; good luck predicting how your WinForm will appear on the sceeen; good luck getting rid of the nag notification about scaling that won;t go away which suggests a remedy that does not work.
Anyway, over the years, I developed a tolerance for what I call the "psychedelic light show" aspects of using VS.
The last several VS updates have made things worse: I often cannot edit something without scrolling the something "higher" because of pop-ups that won't get out of the way. The frequency of obnoxious pop-ups has gone up !
I understand if your response is: get your eyes fixed; get a bigger screen, etc.
Believe it, or not, I recognize that VS, like PhotoShop, has become a vast aggregate of functionality built up of accretion of new facilities. And, imho, VS is not the cutting edge of MS dev initiatives ... that goes to web-centric, cross-platform ... Maui, Blazor, etc.
And, perhaps, WinForms is the poster-child of yesterday ? I blame ex-MS-executive Whatshisname for killing off SilverLight, the mess made with WPF's deprecation, and the whole diversion of MS dev resources to the "Metro" and WinRT fiascoes.
So, the top predator now digests the carcasses of Mono and Xamarin ... and, Maui is the "next big thing"
cheers, Bill

I have been a long time users of ReSharper. Microsoft has been on a campaign of moving all the most used features from ReSharper into VS/VS 2022.
I use VS/VS 2022 all day long, all week long for work, with not issues really. I hardly need to enable ReSharper anymore now in VS.
The performance degradation is extremely noticeable now and has been in the past in VS if you have ReSharper enabled and I feel that is by design because Microsoft has never liked ReSharper.
Note 1: All of my friends that work at Microsoft use ReSharper and have been for a long time, but there is internal company pushback to stop using it for there internal software devs, etc.
Note 2: that the ReSharper headquarters is in Prague, Czech Republic and the last time I looked most of the R&D was done in Russia and Belarus. ReSharper has put out an official statement stating that they have suspended all R&D in Russia and Belarus.
Microsoft has kicked out all MVPs from Russia and Belarus in 2022, and ReSharper was an MS MVP for a long time, I believe.
All of this is online for you to research and fact check if you so choose.
Summary: ReSharper is amazing IMHO, but politics has set ReSharper's course for extinction.

Which is sad. Scientists should be above that nonsense. But clearly we're not. The people that run MS are just as foolish as the next clown who doesn't think. Living the past. No current critical thinking skills. This ain't the 90s anymore.

IF Jetbrains wanted to keep it going, they could've done what Intel did and help it's formerly Russian video driver developers relocate abroad. If Resharper dies, Jetbrains is just using the war as an excuse.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It's one thing for you to troll CP, and stalk me, and another for you to cast defamatory slurs on my friends in Czechoslovakia (at both JetBrains, and PostSharp).
JetBrains is a world-famous software company, a leading innovator whose products now go far beyond being focused on MS exclusively. ReSharper is a product, not an MVP.
Yearss ago, JetBrains actually gave CP members a year free sub to ReSharper.
Czechoslovakia is (and has been since the beginning) overwhelmingly pro-Ukraine: welcomes refugees, sends advanced tanks. Czechs have has a profound distrust of Russia since their occupation in 1968.
Microsoft suspended sales and R&D in Russia/Belarus.
JetBrains' actual statement on Russia/Belarus: [^]. Update: [^]
I'll let JetBrains know about your distorted attempt at defamation.
Shame on you.

How am I trolling you, and do you consider replying to your post as "stalking"..really??? and how was I defaming the people of the Czech Republic and Jetbrains? I have always been pro Jetbrains/ReSharper. If anything my post is shedding a negative light on Microsoft for how they are treating Jetbrains.
I am 50% Czech. My dad was 100% Czech (he is now passed on). My grandparents (my dad's mom and dad) immigrated to the United States from Czechoslovakia.
I meant Jetbrains when referring to ReSharper, of course. I have been a subscriber to Jetbrains/Resharper since 2014.
Everything I mentioned is true.
And by the way, Czechoslovakia is the Czech Republic now, since 1993: Czechoslovakia | History, Map, & Facts | Britannica[^]
Shame on me? Really? Really?
