How to create a spin control (Phoenix)
Keywords : Spin control.
Introduction :
This widget lets you increment and decrement a value.
It has two up and down arrow buttons for this purpose.
User can enter a value into a box or increment/decrement it by these two arrows.

- wx.SP_WRAP
wx.SpinCtrl methods |

SetValue(integer value) |

SetValueString(string value) |
something |
SetRange(integer min, integer max) |
set the min and max values |
integer GetMin() |
get the minimum value |
integer GetMax() |

Demonstrating :
Tested py3.x, wx4.x and Win10.

Sample one
sample_one.py is a dialog-based script.
Our main class inherits from wx.Dialog instead of wx.Frame.
The main difference is that we cannot resize the window and we call Destroy() method instead of Close(), when we quit the application.
sample_one script converts Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius.
This example is very popular and can be found in most programming primer books.
