Description

The iwidgets::spinint command creates a spinint widget. The

spinint allows «spinning» of integer values within a specified range with wrap support. The spinner arrows may be drawn hori- zontally or vertically.

Widget-specific Methods

pathName cget option

Returns the current value of the configuration option given by

option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the iwid- gets::spinint command.
pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?

Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no

option is specified, returns a list describing all of the avail- able options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of this list). If option is specified with no value, then the command returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value returned if no option is specified). If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. Option may have any of the values accepted by the iwidgets::spinint command. pathName down

Decrement the spinner value by the value given in the step

option.
pathName up

Increment the spinner value by the value given in the step

option.

Components

See the «Spinner» widget manual entry for details on the integer

spinner component items.
