First, thank you for your suggestions. I get it that I need to create a container control with three option buttons. This is fine.

But I don't understand why there are 8 possibilities. How do you get the value of 7?

>(1) I think there are 8 possibilities - from 0 to 7
>shift1 = 2 ^0
>shift2 = 2^1
>shift3 = 2^ 2

>(5) add code to the optionbuttons (interactive change) to set the value of the spinner accordingly
