Version 1.1.7:

The Fl_Spinner by default is set to type FL_INT_INPUT. This cannot be changed without subclassing the widget. However, if a format of a floating point type is used, then the type should be changed to FL_FLOAT_INPUT. This is done with the following implementation of format() within Fl_Spinner.H:

void format(const char *f) {
  format_ = f;
  char buf[30];
  snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), format_, 0.1);
  if (strchr(buf, '.')) input_.type(FL_FLOAT_INPUT);
  update();
}

This code will change the input type to floating point if the number 0.1 , when formatted by the format, contains a "." character.

Alternatively, a input_type() method can be added to Fl_Spinner to change the underlying input_.type(), but this might break binary compatibility.

Your proposed fix is not correct, and might lead to some strange results.

Better to just look for "f", "g", or "e" in the format string, and/or to do it based on changes to step() if the value is not an integer.

(FWIW, the original implementation used integers and was only extended for floating point input when I added it to FLTK...)

Fixed in Subversion repository.

Added "type()" function to Fl_Spinner (although it is unfortunatly not virtual). Added Spinner support to Fluid. Added documentation w/warnings. Added Spinner to Valuator test.

Matthias, the fix is not correct, reopening until I get the correct fix committed...

Second attempt to fix this right. This time, I use the formatting code from Fl_Valuator in a simplified form. Comments welcome.
