## wxSpinButton

A wxSpinButton 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 wxSpinCtrl instead as wxSpinButton is not implemented for all platforms (Win32 and GTK only currently).

NB: the range supported by this control (and wxSpinCtrl) depends on the platform but is at least `SHRT_MIN` to `SHRT_MAX`.

Derived from

wxControl
wxWindow
wxEvtHandler
wxObject

Window styles

wxSP_HORIZONTAL | Specifies a horizontal spin button (note that this style is not supported in wxGTK).
wxSP_VERTICAL | Specifies a vertical spin button.
wxSP_ARROW_KEYS | The user can use arrow keys.
wxSP_WRAP | The value wraps at the minimum and maximum.

See also window styles overview.

Event handling

To process input from a spin button, use one of these event handler macros to direct input to member functions that take a wxSpinEvent argument:

EVT_SPIN(id, func) | Generated whenever an arros is pressed.
EVT_SPIN_UP(id, func) | Generated when left/up arrow is pressed.
EVT_SPIN_DOWN(id, func) | Generated when right/down arrow is pressed.
