Description Sergey Prigogin CLA 2005-05-11 00:56:43 EDT 
I'm using a combination of three spinners for entering time of day. Spinners 
displaying minutes and seconds have to display numbers from 00 to 59 with 
always two displayed digits. Is it possible to display leading zeros in Spinner?

Before switching to SWT Spinner I was using my own widget that had a simple 
method for controlling display of numbers:

    /**
     * Sets format controlling appearance of numbers in the Spinner.
     * @param numberFormat The number format to set.
     */
    public void setNumberFormat(NumberFormat numberFormat);

Would you consider adding such convenience method to SWT spinner? It seems much 
superior to setDigits method currently available in Spinner. Or is it too late 
and you can't do it due to the API freeze?

Too late.  It's the 3.1 API freeze.
Comment 2 Sergey Prigogin CLA 2005-05-11 18:44:13 EDT 
Would you be ready to introduce this method in July?
