The Numpad point can be used to quickly collect numeric data with options to specify a valid range of numbers or to set a limit on the number of digits that can be entered.
The Numpad point can be configured in the Mobile Data Anywhere Designer to customise the behaviour of the point. Below is an example of the properties window for a Numpad point, opened in the Mobile Data Anywhere Designer.
These options can be used to customise the appearance and format of the Numpad point. The display size is used to specify the width of the Numpad point, when display on a mobile device. The decimal character can be set manually or can be set to automatically use the device's regional settings.
The
Basic Points Sample
project contains examples of how to use many of the various points that are available. This project also contains a
page that demonstrates some of the ways that this point can be used in your projects.
In the sample project
basic_point_samples.ppc
there is a
Numpad Point
page which demonstrates a variety of uses for the Numpad point. Open this project in the Mobile Data Anywhere
Designer for a closer at how each point has been customised on each point's properties window.
