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 incrementing 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.

^^

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 Emitted by this Class

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

• EVT_SPIN: Generated whenever pressing an arrow changed the spin button value.

• EVT_SPIN_UP: Generated whenever pressing left/up arrow changed the spin button value.

• EVT_SPIN_DOWN: Generated whenever pressing right/down arrow changed the spin button value. ^^

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.

Class API

class wx.SpinButton(Control)

Possible constructors:

SpinButton()

SpinButton(parent, id=-1, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize,
           style=SP_VERTICAL, name="spinButton")

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

Methods

__init__(self, *args, **kw)

Overloaded Implementations:

---

__init__ (self)

Default constructor.

---

__init__ (self, parent, id=-1, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, style=SP_VERTICAL, name=”spinButton”)

Constructor, creating and showing a spin button.

Parameters

• parent (wx.Window) – Parent window. Must not be None.

• id (wx.WindowID) – Window identifier. The value wx.ID_ANY indicates a default value.

• 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 class description.

• name (string) – Window name.

Create(self, parent, id=-1, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, style=SP_VERTICAL, name="wxSpinButton")

Scrollbar creation function called by the spin button constructor.

See wx.SpinButton for details.

Parameters

• parent (wx.Window) –

• id (wx.WindowID) –

• pos (wx.Point) –

• size (wx.Size) –

• style (long) –

Return type

wx.VisualAttributes

---

GetIncrement(self)

Get the value for increment for a spin control.

The default value is 1 but it can be changed using SetIncrement .

Return type

int

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.6.

---

GetMax(self)

Returns the maximum permissible value.

Return type

GetMin(self)

Returns the minimum permissible value.

GetValue(self)

Returns the current spin button value.

Return type

SetValue

SetIncrement(self, value)

Sets the increment for the control.

The increment is the number by which the value changes when the up or down arrow is used.

The default is 1.

This function is currently implemented only in wxMSW and does nothing under the other platforms.

Parameters

value (int) –

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.6.

wx.SpinCtrl.SetIncrement

SetMax(self, maxVal)

---

SetMin(self, minVal)

---

SetRange(self, min, max)

Sets the range of the spin button.

In portable code, min should be less than or equal to max. In wxMSW it is possible to specify minimum greater than maximum and the native control supports the same range as if they were reversed, but swaps the meaning of up and down arrows, however this dubious feature is not supported on other platforms.

Parameters

• min (int) – The minimum value for the spin button.

• max (int) – The maximum value for the spin button.

GetMin , GetMax

SetValue(self, value)

Sets the value of the spin button.

Parameters

value (int) – The value for the spin button.
