TBigSpin is a simple modification of the TSpinEdit Control provided with Delphi (See the Samples Pallette).
In addition to th properties published by TSpinEdit, TBigSpin provides the following:

SpinWidth

Permits the width of the buttons of the control to be set indepenently. By selecting a large font size (EG 20) it is 
thus possible to create a control with 'finger sized' buttons suitable for use on systems configured to use a touch
screen as a pointing device. (On 800X600 systems try a width of circa 120).

SilentValue

Th author has built experimental systems which use visual (line dragging) and dialog based editors to enter positional information. The line editing system updates the display in the dialog based editor. However, setting the Value property of a SpinEdit triggers the OnChange event which is programmed to produce changes within the line-editing system which makes changes to the dialog editor ..... To prevent this unwanted interaction, the TBigSpin control is provided with a property SilentValue. Assigning to this property will make changes without triggerring the OnChange event.
