- entering numerical values of variables
- displaying numerical values of variables

It has arrows at both sides with which you can change the value.

Tab sheet: Basics

1.	Click the Basics tab sheet.

2.	In the Minimum box, type the minimum value.

3.	In the Maximum box, type the maximum value.

4.	In the Step box, type the stepsize.

5.	In the Format box, select the format in which the value must be presented.

6.	If you want the text on the button to appear in another font, in the Font box, select a font.

7.	In the Align box, select how to align the value.

8.	If you want the Numerical Input Field to have borders, click Bordered.

Tab sheet: Position

Please note! Using this tab sheet to set the position is optional. Instead of dragging and resizing, you can use the Position tab sheet to specify relative and absolute positions.

Click the Position tab sheet.
- Left, Top, Right, an Bottom, refer to the four sides of the element.
- Relative Position refers to the position on the window, where the maximum left and top side of the window refer to 0, and the maximum right and bottom side of the window refer to 1.
- Offset refers to the amount of pixels from the topleft corner of the window.

2.	Determine the relative position of the left, top, right, and bottom side of the element by typing values between 0 and 1 in the appropriate Relative Position boxes.

3.	Determine the size of the element by typing the amount of pixels in the appropriate Offset boxes.

4.	Click Apply.
