Very likely. I don't care, so long as it's not 'fixed' by someone who has no understanding of the power and versatility of symbolic text display in a SpinCtrl! Judging by the last 'fix' we're in grave danger of losing one of the best controls wxWidgets offers. Actually it's entirely possible that the two documented versions are entirely intended for the same reasons I want them. The integer is obviously intended for the internal value, and the text is obviously intended for display. The latter is truly beyond dispute, though I guess normally an integer is also text, internally converted to a number. The dot method evidently bypasses this internal convertor. Ideally, I'd like to see the Get method able to do either. Better yet, have GetValue fetch the raw number, and have GetText work as it sounds like it should, instead of causing an error as it does now. :) The point of a SpinCtrl was to combine a SpinButton and a SpinCtrl, yet now I find I'm fighting to prevent the versatility of that combination from being undermined. Some coder out there needs to step back from the code and look at the bigger picture. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ wxlua-users mailing list wxlua-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wxlua-users
