This question pertains to Vision. What is the best way to have a numeric entry component that displays a different value than the one entered? I.e. how do you display an indicator numeric, while the input goes to a different value tag?  
I am trying to model how Allen Bradley does it with their numeric entry component. See below:

TIA!

There’s no equivalent. You’ll need two components.

Hmmm. Actually, if you use custom properties to bind to control and indicator, and use a unidirectional property binding from indicator to the field’s value, you can get very close to the desired operation. You’ll have to script the final assignment from the value field, then have the indicator binding refresh. Tricky.
