    This event class is used for the events generated by wxSpinButton and wxSpinCtrl.

    @beginEventTable{wxSpinEvent}
    @event{EVT_SPIN(id, func)}
        Generated whenever an arrow is pressed.
    @event{EVT_SPIN_UP(id, func)}
        Generated when left/up arrow is pressed.
    @event{EVT_SPIN_DOWN(id, func)}
        Generated when right/down arrow is pressed.

    Note that if you handle both SPIN and UP or DOWN events, you will be notified
    about each of them twice: first the UP/DOWN event will be received and then,
    if it wasn't vetoed, the SPIN event will be sent.

/**
    @class wxSpinButton

    A wxSpinButton has two small up and down (or left and right) arrow buttons.

    It is often used next to a text control for increment and decrementing a value.
    Portable programs should try to use wxSpinCtrl instead as wxSpinButton is not
    implemented for all platforms but wxSpinCtrl is as it degenerates to a simple
    wxTextCtrl on such platforms.

    @note the range supported by this control (and wxSpinCtrl) depends on the
          platform but is at least @c -0x8000 to @c 0x7fff. Under GTK and
          Win32 with sufficiently new version of @c comctrl32.dll (at least 4.71
          is required, 5.80 is recommended) the full 32 bit range is supported.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxSP_HORIZONTAL}
           Specifies a horizontal spin button (note that this style is not
           supported in wxGTK).
    @style{wxSP_VERTICAL}
           Specifies a vertical spin button.
    @style{wxSP_ARROW_KEYS}
           The user can use arrow keys to change the value.
    @style{wxSP_WRAP}
           The value wraps at the minimum and maximum.
    @endStyleTable

    @beginEventTable{wxSpinEvent}
    @event{EVT_SPIN(id, func)}
        Generated whenever an arrow is pressed.
    @event{EVT_SPIN_UP(id, func)}
        Generated when left/up arrow is pressed.
    @event{EVT_SPIN_DOWN(id, func)}
        Generated when right/down arrow is pressed.
    @endEventTable

    Note that if you handle both SPIN and UP or DOWN events, you will be notified
    about each of them twice: first the UP/DOWN event will be received and then,
    if it wasn't vetoed, the SPIN event will be sent.
