[Lazarus] TSpinEdit and TFloatSpinEdit

2013-11-18 Thread Avishai
Why do we have both TSpinEdit and TFloatSpinEdit?  It seems like
TFloatSpinEdit is enough.  TFloatSpinEdit has property DecimalPlaces
and when set to 0, it displays an Integer (although it's a Float).
It's easy enough to get the Integer Value, but it could have Property
FloatValue and Property IntValue.

I presume for Delphi compatibility. It is then possible to convert a 
Delphi project to a Lazarus project without rewriting source code that 
involves spinedits. (The Delphi TSpinEdit has a Value property that is a 
longint).

Does Delphi even have a TFloatSpinEdit?  I suppose it does but I
haven't found anything by googling.
