Description

The class text-input-range provides numeric input of integers in a given range (some systems refer to this a spinner or spin-box).

The range is controlled by the :start and :end initargs. start defaults to 0 and end defaults to 10 . The initial value is set with the argument value (which defaults to 0 ).

wraps-p controls what happens if the user presses the up or down button until the start or end is reached. If wraps-p is nil , then it stops at the limit. If wraps-p is true then it wraps around to the other end. The default value of wraps-p is nil .

callback provides a function to be called whenever the value is changed by the user. The arguments to this function are specified by callback-type (see the callbacks class for details of possible values, noting that the "data" is the value and the "item" is the pane itself). The default callback-type is (:item :data) .

Example
(capi:contain
 (make-instance 'capi:text-input-range
           :start 0 
           :end 100 
           :value 42))
