Value Field

 

A Value Field is generally used to output a numerical variable. It can, however, also be used for input, but more commonly Numerical Input elements are used for this purpose.

 

Tab sheet: Basics

1.Click the Basics tab sheet.
2.In the Format, box, select the format in which the value must be presented.
3.If you want the text to appear in another font, in the Font box, select a font.
4.In the Align box, select the alignment of the value inside the field.
5.If you want the Value Field to have borders, click Bordered.
6.If you want the Value Field to activate using the Tab-key, click Can Tab.
7.If you do NOT want to allow the learner to modify the value, so you just want to use this field to show output, click Read Only.
8.Click Apply.

 

Tab sheet: Variable

1.Click the Variables tab sheet.
2.Choose the variable of which you want the value to be displayed in the Value Field.
3.Click Apply.

 

Tab sheet: Colour

1.Click the Colour tab sheet.
2.Select a colour from the palette. You can also type a value for the Red, Green and Blue value (0-255) or use the sliders.
3.Indicate whether the color is for the Text or the Background.

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.

 

1.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.
