Inserting a Numeric Control

You can specify the display format of a numeric control either using an external reference or by using your own custom format.

1. Select a text input control from the Palette and drop it in the form.
2. Go to the Properties tab in the Properties view for the text input control and select the Numeric check box. This enables the Format options.
3. Specify the display format from the following options:
   1. External Reference: Select a format from an external resource. See Inserting External Reference Format
   2. Custom: Define a custom format. See Inserting a Custom Format.

• Adding the Properties File in the Resource List
  The newly-created properties file must be added to the resources list of the form.
