Which button of JSpinner has been pressed?

Question

Is it possible to know , from inside a ChangeListener receiving a ChangeEvent from a JSpinner, which button (increment/decrement) has been pressed?

Answer 1

Short answer : No there's no way to know which button was pressed

Long answer : depending on your model and your change listener, if you do a comparison between the new value and the previous value, it is possible to know if the user went forward or backward.

Answer 2

You can inspect the object firing the event. Perhaps save the value prior to the event and determine whether it went up or down during the event.
