wx.SpinCtrl¶

wx.SpinCtrl combines wx.TextCtrl and wx.SpinButton in one control.

Window Styles¶

This class supports the following styles:

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.
wx.TE_PROCESS_ENTER: Indicates that the control should generate wxEVT_TEXT_ENTER events. Using this style will prevent the user from using the Enter key for dialog navigation (e.g. activating the default button in the dialog) under MSW.
wx.ALIGN_LEFT: Same as wx.TE_LEFT for wx.TextCtrl: the text is left aligned.
wx.ALIGN_CENTRE_HORIZONTAL: Same as wx.TE_CENTRE for wx.TextCtrl: the text is centered.
wx.ALIGN_RIGHT: Same as wx.TE_RIGHT for wx.TextCtrl: the text is right aligned (this is the default).

Events Emitted by this Class¶

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

EVT_SPINCTRL: Process a wxEVT_SPINCTRL event, which is generated whenever the numeric value of the spin control is updated.

You may also use the wx.SpinButton event macros, however the corresponding events will not be generated under all platforms. Finally, if the user modifies the text in the edit part of the spin control directly, the EVT_TEXT is generated, like for the wx.TextCtrl. When the use enters text into the text area, the text is not validated until the control loses focus (e.g. by using the TAB key). The value is then adjusted to the range and a wx.SpinEvent sent then if the value is different from the last value sent.

Class API¶

class wx.SpinCtrl(Control)¶

Possible constructors:

SpinCtrl()

SpinCtrl(parent, id=ID_ANY, value="", pos=DefaultPosition,
         size=DefaultSize, style=SP_ARROW_KEYS, min=0, max=100, initial=0,
         name="wxSpinCtrl")

SpinCtrl combines TextCtrl and SpinButton in one control.

Methods¶

__init__(self, *args, **kw)¶

Overloaded Implementations:

__init__ (self)

Default constructor.

__init__ (self, parent, id=ID_ANY, value=””, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, style=SP_ARROW_KEYS, min=0, max=100, initial=0, name=”wxSpinCtrl”)

Constructor, creating and showing a spin control.

If value is non-empty, it will be shown in the text entry part of the control and if it has numeric value, the initial numeric value of the control, as returned by GetValue will also be determined by it instead of by initial. Hence, it only makes sense to specify initial if value is an empty string or is not convertible to a number, otherwise initial is simply ignored and the number specified by value is used.

Parameters

parent (wx.Window) – Parent window. Must not be None.
id (wx.WindowID) – Window identifier. The value wx.ID_ANY indicates a default value.
value (string) – Default value (as text).
pos (wx.Point) – Window position. If wx.DefaultPosition is specified then a default position is chosen.
size (wx.Size) – Window size. If wx.DefaultSize is specified then a default size is chosen.
style (long) – Window style. See wx.SpinButton.
min (int) – Minimal value.
max (int) – Maximal value.
initial (int) – Initial value.
name (string) – Window name.
