ttk::spinbox — Selecting text field widget
ttk::spinbox pathName ?options?
A ttk::spinbox widget is a ttk::entry 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 ttk::entry widget including support of the
-textvariable option to link the value displayed by the widget
to a Tcl variable.

- This must be a Tcl list of values. If this option is set then this will

See the ttk::entry manual for information about indexing characters.
See the ttk::entry manual for information about using the
-validate and -validatecommand options.
The following subcommands are possible for spinbox widgets in addition to
the commands described for the ttk::entry widget:
- pathName get
-
Returns the spinbox's current value.
- pathName set value
-
Set the spinbox string to value. If a -format option has
been configured then this format will be applied. If formatting fails
or is not set or the -values option has been used then the value
is set directly.
The spinbox widget generates a <<Increment>> virtual event when
the user presses <Up>, and a <<Decrement>> virtual event when the
user presses <Down>.
The class name for a ttk::spinbox is TSpinbox.
Dynamic states: active, disabled, focus, readonly.
TSpinbox styling options configurable with ttk::style
are:
-arrowcolor color
-arrowsize amount
-background color
-
For backwards compatibility, when using the aqua theme (for macOS), this
option behaves as an alias for the -fieldbackground provided that no
value is specified for -fieldbackground. Otherwise it is ignored.
-bordercolor color
-darkcolor color
-fieldbackground color
-foreground color
-insertcolor color
-insertwidth amount
-lightcolor color
-padding padding
-selectbackground color
-selectforeground color
Some options are only available for specific themes.
See the ttk::style manual page for information on how to configure
ttk styles.
