Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current numeric controls only support Int32 and Decimal. This can be limiting when working with values that exceed the Int32 range or when floating-point semantics are more appropriate than Decimal.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add dedicated Int64 (long) and Double (double) UpDown controls, complementing the existing controls:
| Already supported | Control | C# Type | Typical Use Cases |
|---|---|---|---|
| ✅ | NumericUpDown |
int |
Counts, quantities, indexes, IDs |
| ❌ | LongUpDown |
long |
Large IDs, file sizes, timestamps, large counters |
| ✅ | DecimalUpDown |
decimal |
Money, prices, tax rates, financial calculations |
| ❌ | DoubleUpDown |
double |
Scientific measurements, engineering values, coordinates, floating-point calculations |

Add dedicated controls for Int64 (long) and Double (double), and verify that both support the use cases described in the issue while complementing the existing controls.
