Draw and Configure a Numeric Command Control

The following is just one way to draw and configure the Numeric, String, or Password command controls to command from within a graphic.

  1. To create a new command control element on your graphic, from the File menu, select New Graphic .
  2. Click Command Control , and draw a rectangular shape on the canvas.
  3. The undefined element displays on the canvas.
  4. From the Property View (Command Control Properties), expand the Command Control properties, and from the Control Type drop-down menu, select Numeric.
    • 0.00 displays in the command control element.
  5. In the Parameter Name field, type the data point’s Parameter name obtained from the Models & Functions Command Configuration table. This field is case–sensitive. This property will be the same Parameter property later defined in the Command and Navigation section for each control.
    • For this example, type: Value.
  6. To configure the command control properties, do the following:
    • Minimum: Enter the minimum value the Command Control is allowed to display.
    • Maximum: Enter the maximum value the Command Control is allowed to display.
