The operating system sends the UDN_DELTAPOS notification message to the parent window of an up-down control when the position of the control is about to change. This happens when the user requests a change in the value by pressing the control’s up or down arrow. The UDN_DELTAPOS message is sent before the WM_VSCROLL or WM_HSCROLL message that actually changes the control’s position. This lets you examine, allow, modify, or disallow the change. The UDN_DELTAPOS message is sent in the form of a WM_NOTIFY message.
