wxSpinCtrl issue ?

Hi,
I'd like to use wxspinctrl.
I have found 2 issue:

1) there isn't the wxTE_RIGHT (for numeric is a must)
2) spinctr->SetValidator( wxTextValidator(wxFILTER_NUMERIC) ) doesn't work

Has anybody found the same ?

It's by design ?

Yep, this control is very poor when You want to create program that check what user put into field. On windows You can catch EVT_TEXT and in function reacting on event get text by event.GetText() - but this only works on windows.

Unfortunatly it is no function that return string from field, only number, and when user put example "some_text_not_numer" function GetValue() returns 0, so You can't know it is 0, some text or empty field

I use normal wxTextCtrl with wxTextValidator(wxFILTER_NUMERIC))

create your own control by which inherits from wxtextctrl and wxspinbutton and implement your needs yourself

that's what id did to be able to use floats and to append things like %, s, h etc.
