The Rad Studio uses the VCL library as far as I know. In MFC, by default, the spin control is displayed with an arrow pointing up and an arrow pointing down. If you want the arrows to be horizontal, the value of the Alignment property can be changed from Vertical (default) to Horizontal. This is done by adding UDS_HORZ as style to the control when creating it. Probably there is something like this for VCL too. Here is an example for MFC:
CSpinButtonCtrl *SpinCtrl = new CSpinButtonCtrl;
SpinCtrl->Create(WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | UDS_HORZ, CRect(60, 10, 80, 35), this, SPIN_ID1);
It would also help to solve the problem if you would share the code snippet here.
