The IntegerTextField graphic is a Basic Layout text field graphic used to display or enter whole-number values.

IntegerTextField is a formatted text field for integer values. Only integer values between the configured Minimum Value and Maximum Value may be entered.

IntegerTextField 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 whole-number values
• Entering integer values
• Setting numeric values without decimal places
• Showing values from a numeric data source
• Sending whole-number values into application logic

The IntegerTextField display can be updated from an input connection.

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

IntegerTextField sends the entered number as a Long Value Object.

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

IntegerTextField is designed for whole-number numeric values.

IntegerTextField-specific settings may include:

• 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, IntegerTextField may include ports such as:

• PrimaryOutPort
• updateDisplayedValue

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

Use IntegerTextField when only whole-number values are needed.

For decimal numeric values, see DoubleTextField.

For general single-line text, see TextField.
