When is using a spinner object appropriate, rather than using a standard text entry object (a.k.a. form, or text box)?
I am looking for information on "best practices" in GUI.

A:
I am thinking that the spinner object should be used only where it makes sense to click small incremental values up and down, e.g. small numbers like the number of copies for a print job.

Pretty much what I'd say; small, incremental values. Text fields are appropriate for longer numeric input, or where flipping through a range of values doesn't make sense (e.g. for currency, etc.).
