MFC - How can I add a spin control to a ribbonbar

I'm using a ribbon style application and I can't seem to find a way to add a spin control to my ribbonbar. In the list of controls of my toolbox there seems to be a spinEdit control but when I add it to the ribbon bar it looks like a ribbonEdit control without showing the up and down buttons that are supposed to be embedded with it. It's there a way to enable this control to behave like a spinEdit or does this control not work at all? Thanks in advance.

I have created one spinner on Ribbon bar through Ribbon resource toolbox in MFC SDI C++ application and I am using visual studio 2015

I got Ribbon access with the help of below code

// Get the Ribbon bar and find the Spinner button by command ID
CMFCRibbonBar* pRibbonBar = GetRibbonBar();

if (pRibbonBar != nullptr)
 {
  // Access the spinner controls
  CMFCRibbonEdit* pSpin = 
  (CMFCRibbonEdit*)m_wndRibbonBar.FindByID(ID_SPIN);
  if (pSpin)
  {
   pSpin->EnableSpinButtons(0.00f, 50.00f);  // Set range 0 to 50
  }
 }

now what happening spinner upper and down arrow when click then by default taking step increment/decrement with 1.0 but I need step increment/decrement with floating value 0.10 instead of 1, Please see in MS Word where the same happening increment/decrement with floating value 0.10 please go to in MS Word.............

Layout tab-> Paragraph->Indent spinner, I need the same increment/decrement with 0.10, instead of 1.0 increment

I tried too much but not got any ideas for ribbon spinner customize step control with floating value 0.10, if anyone know about this then pls share the code.

Call EnableSpinButtons() on the edit control - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb982261.aspx . Instantiate it like this:

CMFCRibbonEdit* edit = new CMFCRibbonEdit(ID_SOME_ID, 75);
edit->EnableSpinButtons(10, 20);
pPanel->Add(edit);
