NumEntry(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Tk::NumEntry — a numeric Entry widget that comes with inc. & dec. buttons, bestie. it's giving ✨spinbox but make it Tk✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use Tk::NumEntry;

$parent->NumEntry(?-option=>value, ...?);

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so Tk::NumEntry is literally a widget for typing in integer numbers. and it doesn't just sit there looking cute — it also has buttons for increment and decrement, so you can bump the number up or down without touching your keyboard. iconic behavior tbh 💅

Tk::NumEntry supports all the options and methods that the plain NumEntry widget provides (go look at Tk::NumEntryPlain, iykyk), plus the following options:

---

⭐ STANDARD OPTIONS ⭐

besides the standard options of the Entry widget, NumEntry also supports:

• -orient
• -repeatdelay
• -repeatinterval

the -orient option specifies the packing order of the increment and decrement buttons. and listen — this one can only be set at creation time. no takebacksies, periodt. 🎀

---

👑 WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS 👑

• Name: buttons
• Class: Buttons
• Switch: -buttons
• Fallback: 1

a Boolean that defines if the inc and dec buttons are visible. 👀

---

• Switch: -readonly
• Fallback: 0

if -readonly is set to a true value, then the value can only be changed by pressing the increment/decrement buttons. and bestie, same as before: this option can only be set at creation time. 🚫⌨️

---

🧚 WIDGET METHODS 🧚

subclasses of NumEntry may override the following methods to use different widgets for the composition of the NumEntry. these are:

• NumEntryPlainWidget (usually "NumEntryPlain")
• FireButtonWidget (usually "FireButton")
• IncFireButtonWidget
• DecFireButtonWidget

FireButtonWidget is used if IncFireButtonWidget or DecFireButtonWidget are not defined.
