public class SpinnerDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Display display = new Display();
        Shell shell = new Shell(display);
        shell.setText("SWT Spinner (o7planning.org)");

        RowLayout rowLayout = new RowLayout();
        rowLayout.marginLeft = 10;
        rowLayout.marginTop = 10;
        rowLayout.spacing = 15;
        shell.setLayout(rowLayout);
        // Label
        Label label = new Label(shell, SWT.NONE);
        label.setText("Select Level:");

        // Spinner
        final Spinner spinner = new Spinner(shell, SWT.BORDER);
        spinner.setMinimum(1);
        spinner.setMaximum(5);

        Font font = new Font(display, "Courier", 20, SWT.NORMAL);
