It does nto appear that QSpinBOx supports 64 bit numbers as a range, Its probably an artifact and a usage model issue..  (It would be very difficult for a user to roll through that large a value range IMO)

That said,, you could "copy" the QSpinBox code, and use qlonglong as your numbers... QSpinBox is derived from QAbstractSpinpBox which is pretty easy to use.

And yes... QT can be easly built as a 64 bit library.
