CX-Supervisor provides an instruction based on the Runtime Display Attributes: field, the minimum
and maximum values allowed, based on the User Input Limits: fields, and a New Value: field, in
which the user types the desired Real or Integer value. Click the OK pushbutton to accept the value,
or the Cancel pushbutton to abort the operation. An invalid entry in the New Value field is exposed
as an error once the OK pushbutton has been clicked.
Edit Point Value (Text)
A text point may be issued to the user for amendment during runtime, defined using the User Input
(Text) dialog.
To access the User Input (Text) dialog to add an action, select Edit Point Value (Text) from the
animation list and click the Add Action button on the toolbar. To access the User Input (Text) dialog
to modify an action, select Edit Point Value (Text) from the animation list and click the Modify
Action button on the toolbar. For a list of the objects to which this action is applicable refer to
chapter 9, Objects.
On selection of the Edit Point Value (Text) action, dialog is displayed:
A text point must be entered. This is typed into the Text Point: field. A text string to use as the
caption of a user dialog can be entered in the Caption: field. Selecting the Echo Off setting ensures
that text typed at runtime appears hidden as asterisks.
The Display Keyboard option is useful if the runtime system does not have a keyboard, i.e. it is
controlled by a touch screen or tracker ball. When a value is edited, a Keyboard dialog is displayed
which allows editing by clicking on screen.
If the In Place Edit option is checked, instead of the popup editing dialog, the value can be edited on
the page in a standard Windows edit box.
