phoenix_title wx.SpinButton

A wx.SpinButton has two small up and down (or left and right) arrow buttons.

It is often used next to a text control for increment and decrementing a value. Portable programs should try to use wx.SpinCtrl instead as wx.SpinButton is not implemented for all platforms but wx.SpinCtrl is as it degenerates to a simple wx.TextCtrl on such platforms.

styles Window Styles

This class supports the following styles:

  • wx.SP_HORIZONTAL: Specifies a horizontal spin button (note that this style is not supported in wxGTK).
  • wx.SP_VERTICAL: Specifies a vertical spin button.
  • wx.SP_ARROW_KEYS: The user can use arrow keys to change the value.
  • wx.SP_WRAP: The value wraps at the minimum and maximum.

events Events Emitted by this Class

Handlers bound for the following event types will receive a wx.SpinEvent parameter.

  • EVT_SPIN: Generated whenever an arrow is pressed.
  • EVT_SPIN_UP: Generated when left/up arrow is pressed.
  • EVT_SPIN_DOWN: Generated when right/down arrow is pressed.

Note that if you handle both SPIN and wx.UP or wx.DOWN events, you will be notified about each of them twice: first the UP/DOWN event will be received and then, if it wasn’t vetoed, the SPIN event will be sent.

Note

the range supported by this control (and wx.SpinCtrl) depends on the platform but is at least -0x8000 to 0x7fff . Under GTK and Win32 with sufficiently new version of comctrl32.dll (at least 4.71 is required, 5.80 is recommended) the full 32 bit range is supported.
