The DoubleTextField graphic is a Basic Layout text field graphic used to display or enter decimal numeric values.

DoubleTextField is a formatted text field for float or decimal-style numbers. Only values between the configured Minimum Value and Maximum Value may be entered, and the number of decimal places is controlled by the Decimal Places property.

DoubleTextField shares common properties with other Basic Layout text field graphics. See Text Field Common Properties for shared font, color, editable, enabled, background, visibility, and data source behavior.

• Displaying decimal numeric values
• Entering decimal values
• Setting numeric values with decimal places
• Showing values from a numeric data source
• Sending numeric values into application logic

The DoubleTextField display can be updated from an input connection.

This can be useful when the DoubleTextField needs to show a numeric value from a data source, calculation, or another logic component.

DoubleTextField sends the entered number as a Double Value Object.

This allows the entered or displayed decimal value to be used by other logic components.

DoubleTextField is designed for decimal-style numeric values.

DoubleTextField-specific settings may include:

• Decimal Places Sets how many decimal places are used.
• Minimum Value Sets the lowest value allowed.
• Maximum Value Sets the highest value allowed.
• Horizontal Alignment Controls how the value is aligned inside the field.
• Cursor Color Sets the cursor color.
• Selected Text Color Sets the selected text color.
• Selection Color Sets the background color used for selected text.

In the Logic Editor, DoubleTextField may include ports such as:

• PrimaryOutPort
• updateDisplayedValue

The exact available ports may depend on the current MIStudio version and configuration.

Use DoubleTextField when decimal values are needed.

For whole-number values, see IntegerTextField.
