Basic Value Box
This element represents a Basic Value Box. Unlike other elements, it does not support commanding or navigating.
Instead, it is used simply for the display of the current attribute value of a bound Metasys item, along with an optional
indication of status. It functions as a simple, non-editable value box.
Figure 15: Basic Value Box
The Basic Value Box element has the following runtime characteristics:
• If you define the Basic Value Box to show status, the Basic Value Box element sets its background based on
the status color associated in Metasys system preferences for the item’s current status. Any user-configured
background color and foreground color no longer apply. If you do not configure status to appear (for example,
the Show Status property is False), the background color and font color appear as configured.
• It displays a User Actions Panel (with a right-click) when displayed within the Site Management Portal, System
Configuration Tool, or the Ready Access Portal. See User Actions Panel.
• If the width of the Basic Value Box is not large enough to accommodate the full value, the value is not shown.
In this case, you can see the value by viewing the tooltip. To correct, open the graphics file with GGT and enlarge
the width of the Basic Value Box or reduce the font size.
