Graphical Panel Controls: Text Display

Text Display boxes are output controls that can be configured to show static text for labeling items, or dynamic text showing signal values. Figure 1 shows examples of conventional text and group box controls (see below for more details).

Figure 1: Example Text Display controls.

Table 1 lists the properties specific to a Text Display control. A list of common properties can be found under Common Control Properties.

Table 1: Text Display Control Properties

Property	Function and options
BorderStyle	Text Display controls have an additional BorderStyle property value, beyond those described under Common Control Properties: 5-GroupBox. When selected, this specifies that the control defines a box that can be used to group other controls, as shown in Figure 1.
LCD Digits	Enables LCD mode. A value of 0 causes the control to display text in its default manner; a larger value switches the control to show numbers in a LCD type view; see "123" in Figure 1 for an example.
LCD Decimals	Specifies the number of digits to show after the decimal point.
