'Unit' indicator on numerics

Status: New

Hello all,

when a numeric is an integer, there's the option of having the radix preceeding the value in the control. For float/double, I'd like this tiny radix box to be extended for arbitrary strings in order to show the physical unit (m/s, kV, etc) of that numeric.

 

Right now the workarounds are:

- use a text box and display the value and the unit inside. Problem: works only for indicators, no arrows for changeable controls.

- display the unit in the label of the control.
