Acop InputBox Example

Use the ACOP InputBox for applying set-point or settings changes.

You can input via the keyboard (or copy-paste or drag-and-drop) input into the text area of the input box.
On application start, the input box shows the current readback value of the underlying LinkAddress and LinkProperty (providided this property is an attribute style property (offering read and write access).

If the current input box value shown is in sync with the readback value then it is displayed with the same color as readback (default = DarkBlue) else it is displayed in an out-of-sync color (default = DarkRed).

An access lock can easily be obtained via a checkbox (if supported by the transport protocol).

To apply the setting shown in the input box, simply hit the return key while the cursor is inside the input box.
