Numeric control properties
You can view and change the values for the following properties of this control:
| Basic Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Caption | The label to display on the form for this control. |
| Tooltip | The text that displays as a tooltip when the user mouse hovers over the control. |
| Read Only | Do not allow modifications on form. |
| Advanced Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Format Type | Used to convert a numeric value to a string. Available options for the
control are:
|
| Visible | Display or hide this control on the form. |
| Enabled | Allows user to interact with this control. |
| Max Length | Maximum number of characters user can enter. |
| Required | Requires a value when saving data. |
| Decimal Digits | The number of digits after the decimal to display and allow for data
entry. Default of -1 means use 'No. of digits after decimal' specified in the user's language settings. Alternatively, type an integer ranging from 0 to 4. If you want to enter a number greater than 4, check in Application Architect to be sure the field to which the control is bound was defined with at least as many digits after the decimal. When a user enters fewer digits than the precision specified, a Currency control or column fills in the digits with zeros. If you want a Numeric control or column to fill in the digits to the precision specified, set Strict=True. Note:
For percentage fields: Though a percent displays with numbers before and after the decimal place, the numeric representation in the database is stored with all digits after the decimal point.10.0025% is stored as .100025 (6 digits). Since all the digits are technically after the decimal point, to round after 4 decimal digits for a percent, as displayed, you would set the property to 6 to account for the extra two digits.| |
| Strict | Pads display of numbers with trailing zeros as required. For example, if Decimal Digits=4, Strict=True, and the numeric value is 2.3, the value displays as 2.3000. |
