.. _wx.SpinButton:

==========================================================================================================================================
|phoenix_title|  **wx.SpinButton**
==========================================================================================================================================

A :ref:`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 :ref:`wx.SpinCtrl`  instead as :ref:`wx.SpinButton`  is not implemented for all platforms but :ref:`wx.SpinCtrl`  is as it degenerates to a simple :ref:`wx.TextCtrl`  on such platforms. 





.. _SpinButton-styles:

|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.  








.. _SpinButton-events:

|events| Events Emitted by this Class
=====================================

Handlers bound for the following event types will receive a :ref:`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 :ref:`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.
