ShowCalcView Property (Calculator)

Reference> Calculator Object> Calculator Object Properties> ShowCalcView Property (Calculator)

If set to True (default), the view window in the drop-down calculator will be shown.

Syntax

object.ShowCalcView= boolean

Read/Write at run time and design time.

Values

True - Displays the view window. (Default)

False - Hides the view window.

Remarks

This enables users to keep the original entered value displayed within in the control area as they perform a calculation using the drop-down calculator.

If set to False, the view window will be hidden and the calculation with the drop-down calculator will be performed within the control area. In this case, the control area accepts keys using the calculator syntax. Note that once closing the calculator, the result will be set back to the display using the input mask defined.

The syntax style used for inputting in the control and the calculator differentiate. For example, entering '10-6' in the control will display -106, while the calculator displays 6, since the equal ("=") sign has not yet been pressed.

The text color for the negative values specified with the NegativeColor property, literals defined in the input mask except the minus sign ("-") and the separator character specified with the Separator property will not take effect when displaying values in the calculator view window. The decimal point character will be inherited from the system.
