## Input combo type number.buttons

Displays an input field that accepts only numbers. It also includes a pair of buttons to increment or decrement the current value in the field. The decimal mark is a dot (`.`).

## Usage example

```xml
<form>
    <inputcombo
        type="number.buttons"
        id="variable_value_button"
        label="Variable value button using"
        description="Set the value that you want to send using buttons"
        placeholder="Enter the value that you want to send"
        min="-100"
        max="100"
        step = "2"
        value = "48"
    />
</form>
```

## Properties

These properties are shared by input combo type number and input combo type number.buttons:

* `id`: Unique identifier for accessing this field's data
* `label`: Header text
* `description`: Short descriptive text
* `placeholder`: Placeholder value
* `shape`: Used to align the label and the input field. Allowed values:
  * `compactVertical`
  * `wideVertical`
  * `wideHorizontal`
* `min`: Minimum number accepted
* `max`: Maximum number accepted
* `step`: Step when increasing or decreasing the number using the buttons.
* `value`: Sets a default value. Although this is a number field, the property value must be set as a string (`value="48"`)
