Description:

The PtNumericFloat class is a numeric widget that lets you enter floating-point values between given minimum and maximum values. You can also use an incorporated PtScrollbar to increase or decrease the value by a set amount.


PtNumericFloat example


A PtNumericFloat widget.

In addition, you can use the resources defined by PtNumeric to add prefix and suffix strings, and use comma separators. You can use Pt_ARG_NUMERIC_PRECISION to specify the precision of the number (i.e. the number of decimal places, for example, 1,000.00).

PtNumericFloat defines several resources with a C type of double * and a Pt type of Struct. Remember that you can't set and get them as if they were scalar values. Here's how to set the widget's value:

double number = 5.55;

PtSetResource (ABW_base_float, Pt_ARG_NUMERIC_VALUE,
               &number, 0);

Here's how to get the value:

double *number;

PtGetResource (ABW_base_float, Pt_ARG_NUMERIC_VALUE,
               &number, 0);
printf ("Value is %f\n", *number);

Note: PtNumericFloat isn't included in the shared ph library because it uses floating-point operations. If you use it in a non-PhAB application, link with the static library. For more information, see Compiling and linking a non-PhAB application in the Programming Photon without PhAB chapter of the Photon Programmer's Guide.

New resources:

Resource C type Pt type Default
Pt_ARG_NUMERIC_INCREMENT double * Struct 1.0
Pt_ARG_NUMERIC_MAX double * Struct 1000000.00
Pt_ARG_NUMERIC_MIN double * Struct -1000000.00
Pt_ARG_NUMERIC_PRECISION int Scalar 2
Pt_ARG_NUMERIC_VALUE double * Struct 0.0
Pt_CB_NUMERIC_CHANGED PtCallback_t * Link NULL

Pt_ARG_NUMERIC_INCREMENT

C type Pt type Default
double * Struct 1.0

The value by which to increase or decrease the value when the up/down buttons are pressed.

Pt_ARG_NUMERIC_MAX

C type Pt type Default
double * Struct 1000000.00

The maximum value for the widget.

Pt_ARG_NUMERIC_MIN

C type Pt type Default
double * Struct -1000000.00

The minimum value for the widget.

Pt_ARG_NUMERIC_PRECISION

C type Pt type Default
int Scalar 2

The precision or number of displayed decimal places of the widget's current value.

Pt_ARG_NUMERIC_VALUE

C type Pt type Default
double * Struct 0.0

The current value of the widget.

Pt_CB_NUMERIC_CHANGED

C type Pt type Default
PtCallback_t * Link NULL

A list of PtCallback_t structures that define the callbacks invoked when the widget's value changes.

If the widget has the Pt_CALLBACKS_ACTIVE bit set in its Pt_ARG_FLAGS resource, these callbacks are also invoked when your application changes the Pt_ARG_NUMERIC_VALUE with a call to PtSetResource() or PtSetResources(), or if the Pt_ARG_NUMERIC_VALUE is changed indirectly by a change to Pt_ARG_NUMERIC_MIN or Pt_ARG_NUMERIC_MAX.

Each callback is passed a PtCallbackInfo_t structure that contains at least the following members:

reason
Pt_CB_NUMERIC_CHANGED
reason_subtype
A subtype that indicates why the callback was invoked:
event
A pointer to a PhEvent_t structure that describes the event that caused the callback to be invoked, or NULL if there isn't an event.
cbdata
A pointer to a PtNumericFloatCallback_t structure that contains at least:

These callbacks should return Pt_CONTINUE.

Exported subordinate children:

Unless the resources are already defined in PtNumericFloat, the PtNumericFloat class uses the resources of its exported subordinate child, PtScrollbar.

The PtNumericFloat class “inherits” all the resources of its exported subordinate child. Where PtNumericFloat and its exported subordinate child both define resources having the same name, the resource defined in PtNumericFloat takes precedence.

Inherited resources:

If the widget modifies an inherited resource, the “Default override” column indicates the new value. This modification affects any subclasses of the widget.
