Value label

Display of the variable value and the unit in the control element.

The display of a variable value as text or number is a main functionality of the input and output control elements. A "Display for value and unit" (ValueLabel) can be configured for graphical input and output controls(Bar, DonutGauge and Slider), which acts as a container for the value and unit.

The "ValueLabel" element is contained in the "Bar" control element, for example.

The following properties are available in the "ValueLabel" category to configure this display:

ShowValueLabel

Determines whether the display for value and unit is shown.

• The display takes up some space in the control element due to the "ValueLabelWidth" and "ValueLabelHeight" settings. If the display is hidden (ShowValueLabel =o), this space may be available for other sub-elements.
