Hi Wayne et al, Coming back to this after no reply in four months to the patch I posted to the wxFormBuilder tracker (see my other email to the list about the future of wxFB).

Sorry, I didn't explain the issue very clearly. The wxSpinCtrl widget only handles integer inputs. This would mean that either the user still inputs deci-degrees, or the angular resolution is limited to whole degrees. wxWidgets > 2.9 has an extra widget, wxSpinCtrlDouble, which returns a double value. This is ideal for inputting degrees. However, wxFormBuilder doesn't know that wxSpinCtrlDouble exists, and therefore we cannot place it directly in a dialog through wxFB. My patch (which doesn't apply cleanly anymore BTW) proposes using a wxSpinCtrl from within wxFB as a placeholder. The actual dialog class, which inherits from the base class created by wxFB, replaces this with a wxSpinCtrlDouble. > This is kind of polishing that I would like > to see make it into the stable release. If you're OK with my proposed method, then I'll go through and change all existing dialogs which input angles to match, and post a patch accordingly. Blair
