This widget has to be used with a SMALLINT or INTEGER variable, larger types like BIGINT or DECIMAL are not supported.
The step between two values is defined by the STEP attribute.
The VALUEMIN and VALUEMAX attributes define respectively the lower and upper integer limit of the spin-edit range. There is no default min or max value for the SPINEDIT widget.
