Hi Everyone

Can anyone tell me please what a "spinner" is in relation to creating forms
using Writer?  I've never come across this term before, and how does it
work?



It's a funny name software developers have given to one of the common GUI elements. Generally it's a box with some string value shown that you can change by clicking up/down arrows on the right hand side of the element.

There is a nice simple example here: http://scripteka.com/script/spinner-control-gui

and some documentation on them (with examples) here:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/spinner.html
