Number Customize fields
Minimum
In the Minimum field, type the lower limit for the range of values that will be accepted as valid.
Maximum
In the Maximum field, type the upper limit for the range of values that will be accepted as valid.
Negative sign
In the Negative sign field, type the character or combination of characters that will display alongside the numeral to indicate a negative value. The default is a minus sign (-).
Positive Sign
In the Positive Sign field, type the character or combination of characters that will display alongside the numeral to indicate a positive value. The default is no positive sign.
1000s separator
In the 1000s separator field, type the character or combination of characters to use as the thousands separator. The default separator depends upon the locale defaults for your system.
If you do not specify a value in this field, the display output does not contain any separator characters.
Decimal point
In the Decimal point field, type the character you want to use as a decimal point.
The default decimal point depends upon the locale defaults for your system.
Fractional digits
In the Fractional digits field, type the number of digits to the right of the decimal point you want to be retained.
If the user types more digits than what you specify, then the number is rounded; for example, 1.367 is rounded to 1.37 when you specify 2 digits. If the user types less digits than what you specify, the number is padded with zeros; for example, 1.1 is rounded to 1.100 when you specify 3 digits.
Values from country
Select Values from country to display a list from which you select a language and location pair. After you select a language and location pair, the applicable fields are filled in automatically with the appropriate separators, currency signs, or other values that vary with nationality.
Note:
The first time you select Values from country after starting VA Smalltalk, you may experience a delay as VA Smalltalk reads the available locale information from your system.
Sign style
From the Sign style box, specify how the specified Positive Sign or Negative sign is displayed relative to the numerals:
o -123 <+>123
o 123- 123<+>
o (123) 123
Default value
Under Default value, select one of the following the default values to use if the field does not receive a value at run time:
Current date
Set the default date to the current system date at run time.
Constant date
Set the default to the value specified in the adjacent field.
None
No default value is provided.
Note:
For a part that receives direct user input (such as a text entry field), the value specified in the Default field is used only if a user interacts with the field but leaves it empty. If the field never receives input focus, its value remains nil.
Preview
Use the Preview fields to preview how the current settings values affect the object that will be created based on the input value. The area to the right of the text entry field shows how the text in that field is converted into the appropriate data type based upon the current settings.
If the displayed value is wider than the display area, use the
