Resize numeric controls

[Ciphertech]

If I RIGHT CLICK on a Numeric COntrol and select 'Properties', the appearance tab show's the 'SIZE' as Height=23 & Width= 78. However, the Height is "grayed Out" and I cannot change it. I have investigated the "Custom" approach will does allow me to change the Font Size attribute, but the actual control still has the same 'height'.

QUESTION:

How can I change the height to a size that will allow me to use a 74pt font...a very large indicator.

...thanks everybody for the much anticipated reply.

Ciphertech,

You cannot change the height of a numeric control or indicator directly.  Select the value displayed and then go to the font menu to select the size.  The indicator size will change to accomodate the font. If the exact size you want is not available on the menu, choose the closest available size and then use the Smaller or Larger keyboard shortcut to get what you want.

Another way is to use the Numeric Text.Font:Size property node.  Set it to the size you want.

...thank you.Do you change the color of the numeric value with a 'property node'?

[johnsold]

Yes.  Strangely enough the property is called Numeric Text.Text Colors:Text Color.  You can also change the background color.
