Decimal Places

The number of decimal places accepted can be set for the following control types:

  • Numeric Text Box Control.
  • Measurement Text Box Control
  • Spin Button

The Decimal Places property controls the number of decimal places shown in the control. If the value is set to a negative value, DriveWorks automatically determines the required number of decimal places.

Property Type: Static

Default Value: -1

The default value of -1 will automatically set the required number of decimal places. For example if 10.002 is entered into the control it will be set to 3 decimal places.

To Change the Default Value

Ensure the property is a static property (It will display the gray orb alongside the property name)

The default value of the static property can be changed by typing the required value directly into the property field.

  1. Click in the property for the control to be changed.
  2. Type the required value directly into the property field.

Examples

A rule can also be built for this property by changing the type to dynamic.

See How To: Change A Static Property To A Dynamic Property.

Will truncate the entered value to 3 decimal places, when the control Length is less than 25, otherwise 2 decimal places will be allowed.
