To account for the spinner borders, I got the 4 by trial and error and doing PrtScreen and pasting into a graphics program and zooming in and checking the results.

If you don't want the borders, do the following:

Add a container to the form, add a spinner inside the container, then:

*!* Container Init
This.Width = Sysmetric(5) - 2
This.Height = This.spinner1.Height - 6

*!* Spinner Init
This.Width = Sysmetric(5)
This.Height = Sysmetric(6) * 2 
This.Top = -3
This.Left = 1

And voila! an up/down control with no borders, and sized just like the scrollbars arrows.
