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 button to accept the value, or the
Cancel button to abort the operation. An invalid entry in the New Value field is
exposed as an error once the OK button has been clicked.
9-3-25 Edit Point Value (Text)
A text point may be issued to the user for amendment during runtime, defined
using the User Input (Text) dialog box.
To access the User Input (Text) dialog box to add an action, select Edit Point
Value (Text) from the animation list and click the Add Action button. To access
the User Input (Text) dialog box to modify an action, select Edit Point Value
(Text) from the animation list and click the Modify Action button. 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 box opens:
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 box 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 box opens which allows editing by clicking on
screen.
If the In Place Edit option is checked, instead of the popup editing dialog box,
the value can be edited on the page in a standard Windows edit box.
