These are called "spin buttons."  Unfortunately, they are not ms standard
controls.  However, you can find source code for some spin buttons in Jeff
Richter's book _Windows 3: A Developer's Guid_ (ISBN 1-55851-164-4), pages
234-250.  For $39.95, the books filled with source, and *includes* three
diskettes with it.
