property node of numeric

I have searched the LabVIEW forum for this issue, but no answer to my specific problem.

 

I have a numeric control, and I set the minimum, maximum, and increment values using property node.

 

Now, is it possible for the user not to be able to type in something illegal.

 

For example:
min = 0

increment = 4:

max = 72:

 

the user can still type in 3 in the control, and click okay. However, I will like a situation wherby, if he types in a 3, a 4 will automatically be shown.

 

In a nushell , no invalid inputs will be allowed.

the out of range action lets you select "coerce'.

 

I think that an event will return the out-of range value if you have an event configured for the control.

You also have to set the respond to out of limit property. 1 has it increment to nerest. You can search the help on other settings.

Can't you just set this by right click the control and go to properties and the data entry tab?
