.SH NAME
ttk::spinbox \- Selecting text field widget
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBttk::spinbox\fR \fIpathName \fR?\fIoptions\fR?
.BE
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
A \fBttk::spinbox\fR widget is a \fBttk::entry\fR widget with built-in
up and down buttons that are used to either modify a numeric value or
to select among a set of values. The widget implements all the features
of the \fBttk::entry\fR widget including support of the
\fB\-textvariable\fR option to link the value displayed by the widget
to a Tcl variable.

.SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS"
.OP \-command command Command
Specifies a Tcl command to be invoked whenever a spinbutton is invoked.
.OP \-format format Format
Specifies an alternate format to use when setting the string value
when using the \fB\-from\fR and \fB\-to\fR range.
This must be a format specifier of the form \fB%<pad>.<pad>f\fR,
as it will format a floating-point number.
.OP \-from from From
A floating\-point value specifying the lowest value for the spinbox. This is
used in conjunction with \fB\-to\fR and \fB\-increment\fR to set a numerical
range.
.OP \-increment increment Increment
A floating\-point value specifying the change in value to be applied each
time one of the widget spin buttons is pressed. The up button applies a
positive increment, the down button applies a negative increment.
.OP \-to to To
A floating\-point value specifying the highest permissible value for the
widget. See also \fB\-from\fR and \fB\-increment\fR.
range.
.OP \-values values Values
This must be a Tcl list of values. If this option is set then this will
override any range set using the \fB\-from\fR, \fB\-to\fR and
\fB\-increment\fR options. The widget will instead use the values
specified beginning with the first value.
.OP \-wrap wrap Wrap
Must be a proper boolean value.  If on, the spinbox will wrap around the
values of data in the widget.
.SH "INDICES"
.PP
See the \fBttk::entry\fR manual for information about indexing characters.
.SH "VALIDATION"
.PP
See the \fBttk::entry\fR manual for information about using the
\fB\-validate\fR and \fB\-validatecommand\fR options.
.SH "WIDGET COMMAND"
.PP
The following subcommands are possible for spinbox widgets in addition to
the commands described for the \fBttk::entry\fR widget:
.TP
\fIpathName \fBget\fR
Returns the spinbox's current value.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBset \fIvalue\fR
Set the spinbox string to \fIvalue\fR. If a \fB\-format\fR option has
been configured then this format will be applied. If formatting fails
or is not set or the \fB\-values\fR option has been used then the value
is set directly.
.SH "VIRTUAL EVENTS"
.PP
The spinbox widget generates a \fB<<Increment>>\fR virtual event when
the user presses <Up>, and a \fB<<Decrement>>\fR virtual event when the
user presses <Down>.
.SH "STYLING OPTIONS"
.PP
The class name for a \fBttk::spinbox\fP is \fBTSpinbox\fP.
.PP
Dynamic states: \fBactive\fP, \fBdisabled\fP, \fBfocus\fP, \fBreadonly\fP.
.PP
\fBTSpinbox\fP styling options configurable with \fBttk::style\fP
are:
.PP
\fB\-arrowcolor\fP \fIcolor\fP
.br
\fB\-arrowsize\fP \fIamount\fP
.br
\fB\-background\fP \fIcolor\fP
.RS
For backwards compatibility, when using the aqua theme (for macOS), this
option behaves as an alias for the \fB\-fieldbackground\fP provided that no
value is specified for \fB\-fieldbackground\fP. Otherwise it is ignored.
.RE
\fB\-bordercolor\fP \fIcolor\fP
.br
\fB\-darkcolor\fP \fIcolor\fP
