A value box is used to receive or show a single numerical value to the user. Using the “Edit/Properties” option you can set the following attributes of a value box:

Label – The text on the left hand side of the box identifying value type to the user.

Min – The minimum value the box can contain. If a value typed into the box is out of range, the user will be informed whenever a verifying button is pressed.

Max – The maximum value the box can contain.

Precision – The precision is used to format output and round input. It defines the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. (0 = integer value, 1 = 0.1, 2 = 0.01, -1 = rounded to 10’s, -2 = rounded to 100’s etc.)

Value – The initial value displayed in the value box.

Use scientific notation – Indicates whether output should be formatted using scientific notation. (i.e. 71 = 7.1e+1).

Selectable using return – Defines weather the application program will be notified when the user presses the return key while this text box has input focus.
