Ohh....many thanks, that was quick! wxSpinCtrlDbl seems to do exactly what I 
want, great! It even handles keyboard scrolling (up/down arrows) very 
sensibly...

I am using Code::Blocks IDE/wxSmith and don't really know how to build or 
handle such wxWidgets additions properly so I will include wxSpinCtrlDbl in 
my Code::Blocks project for now (meaning I have to tweak some #include's). 
That way I can also build it on Linux easily, since I just sync the source 
and project files across and then build using the IDE.

I just tried wxSpinCtrlDbl on windows and linux and as far as I can see now 
it is a complete solution! Not much to improve here.... very nice.

Regarding making contributions to wxCode... I don't quite feel competent 
yet. And managing all the new tools is already quite a task!
