Smart.NumericKeypad is an on-screen keypad for entering a numeric value on a touch panel. It validates the entry against the limits, keeps the current value in view and has keys sized for gloved use.

A value outside the limits is not accepted, not clamped and not sent. The entry stays on the screen with the reason next to it. Accepting an entry raises the change event; the application writes the value and the reading on the screen follows the value reported by the plant.

Inline keypad with limits and precision

The keypad opens with the current value, which is replaced by the first key press. The precision is one decimal place, so a key that would add a second decimal is ignored. Try entering 130 and pressing Enter to see the range check. A physical keyboard can also type into the keypad while it has focus; Enter accepts and Escape cancels.
