Hello,

Looking at the code it seems that EditInt64 is basing on int64 type (CtrlLib/EditCtrl.h - line 309):

typedef EditMinMax<int64, ConvertInt64>          EditInt64;

So, to add support for unsigned type (uint64) there is a need for expansion of this code. There is a need to add following entries:

typedef EditMinMax<uint64, ConvertUInt64>          EditUInt64;
// ...
typedef EditMinMaxNotNull<uint, EditUInt64>      EditUInt64NotNull;
// ... (Many lines later there is something called spin variant)
typedef WithSpin<int64, EditInt64>           EditInt64Spin;

Also, there is a need to implement following classes:

class ConvertUInt64
class EditUInt64

I personally think that supporting unsigned variants would be nice. However, I don't have much time now to implement it by myself. However, if you want to help you can try to expand CtrlLib in the places I have mentioned. After expansion you can create PR to our official repo and then these changes should be in master and in future releases of U++.

Don't forget to modify CtrlLib.usc. There would be good to have these new controls out of the box in layout designer!

In case of any questions please fell free to ask.
