---try this code you may it useful
---I use long name so I do need to comment (I am terrible at it)

-- The fucntion GoingUp return the current control so only two functions are 
-- needed for the up and down

frame = wx.wxFrame(wx.NULL, wx.wxID_ANY,'Test spin control')
frame:Show(true)
globalSpinControl=wx.wxSpinCtrl(frame)
globalSpinControl:SetRange(10,40)

local function GoingUp(event)
    local SpinCntrl = event:GetEventObject():DynamicCast('wxSpinCtrl')
    local mouseY, spRect = event:GetPosition().Y, SpinCntrl:GetRect()
    return  event:GetEventObject():DynamicCast('wxSpinCtrl'), mouseY < 
spRect.Top + spRect.Height / 2
end

local theValue = 0

local MOUSE_DOWN = 
    function (event)
        print('in EVT_LEFT_DOWN')
        local localSpinControl, Up = GoingUp(event)
        theValue = localSpinControl.Value
        print(localSpinControl.Value, 'before')
        event:Skip()
        print(localSpinControl.Value, 'after')
    end

local MOUSE_UP = 
    function (event)
        print('in EVT_LEFT_UP')
        local localSpinControl, Up = GoingUp(event)
        local highHit, lowHit = false, false
        print('theValue:'..theValue, 'GoingUp? : ' , Up)
        print(localSpinControl.Value, 'before')
        event:Skip()
        print(localSpinControl.Value, 'after')
--[[        localSpinControl.Value = 16 -- set the value here to what you 
want]]
        if Up then
            highHit = theValue == localSpinControl.Max
         else
            lowHit =  theValue == localSpinControl.Min             
        end
        print('highHit: '..tostring(highHit), 'lowHit: '..tostring(lowHit))
    end

globalSpinControl:Connect(wx.wxEVT_LEFT_UP,  MOUSE_UP)
globalSpinControl:Connect(wx.wxEVT_LEFT_DOWN,  MOUSE_DOWN)

wx.wxGetApp():MainLoop()

A problem with this code is that if you hold the mouse down on a button it 
does not report a hi or lot hit properly.

so maybe 
            highHit = theValue == localSpinControl.Max or 
                           localSpinControl.Max == localSpinControl.Value


would be a better test
