Setting up a calculated value

You can use a calculated value to customise numeric text boxes on a form. A calculated value may contain static, dynamic or combined information.

To set up a calculated value:

  1. Click the ellipsis button adjacent to the CalculatedValue property of the control Property Box.
  2. Type in a value in the Calculated Value text box if using static information only.
  3. If using dynamic data only, use the Available Controls dropdown list only.
  4. If using both static and dynamic information, type in some value(s) for the formula in the Calculated Value text box and then place the cursor at the exact point where the dynamic data should be appended.
  5. Select the desired control(s) in the Available Controls dropdown list and then press the Insert button.
  6. Click OK to commit your changes. The dialog closes.
