Description

Creates a num box user control on the user window specified by windowID.

A num box is the same as text box user control, except it only allows the user to specify a number. A spinner is also available to change the value of the number.

The control is initially placed in the top-left corner of the user window, and must be placed by using the -pos option, or by using the setControlPos command.

The command returns the Control ID of the user control, which should be saved for later operations on the control.
