Just wanted to give everyone a heads up about the pre-release of the gtk
Spinner widget. I've been working on it in my spare time for a while
now and the GTK version is now ready for public examination. I
appreciate any and all suggestions/ comments/ snide remarks you can
throw at me. I used a rather ugly hack to implement the event handling
simply because I'm ignorant about how else to do it. If any of you
posses the know-how to implement native controls on GTK with event
handling, please let me know. Anyway, here's the link. Enjoy!

Daniel

Daniel,

Do you still need a hand creating the Windows equivalent of the Spinner
? Please drop me a line at: xencoder at bellsouth dot net, if you want
some help with this. FYI, a "spinner" is native control of sorts in
Windows, but with the following caveats:

A) It's called an UpDown control in Windows.
B) It's one of the "Common Controls" ( of which there are SEVERAL
incantations thereof ), usually found in ComCtl32.dll ( or something
named like that, the names or the packaging have changed through the
years to protect the guilty).
C) The union of the "Arrow" portion of the Spinner is the direct visual
implementation that exists within Windows.
D) "C" above usually get "Married" to an Edit control ( or Buddy, as
it's called ), which the Arrow control will send notification to, to
control to update the displayed contents within the Edit Control.

Essentially, what I've described is the "nuts and bolts" of it. Let me
know if you're still looking for help with, it shouldn't take that long
to hammer out.
