New Keypad

(1/3) > >>

Phrog30:
I've created a new keypad.  I've debugged to the point where I think it's usable.  If you have any suggestions or see any problems please let me know.  I tried to keep things as consistent as the original keypad.  The main differences:
1.  This keypad is easily editable
2.  PLC keypad min/max
3.  Display min/max on keypad
4.  Display current value on keypad
5.  Keypad can be dragged
6.  Doesn't use top most, which in my experience is a pain as it will block messages, etc
7.  I think it looks better (my opinion of course)

Tell me if I am missing something, but it looks like you have the MinValue and MaxValue properties to allow nulls using "Decimal?", but in the load event handler you force it to a value anyway. Wouldn't it be easier to not allow nulls and set default values to Decimal.MinValue and Decimal.MaxValue

Phrog30:
I struggled with this.  If just using this with a component, like AnalogValueDisplay, it wouldn't matter.  But, what if someone calls this from code and forgets to set these values.  I wanted a fallback.  If there is a better way on that please let me know.

Archie:
I made a revised version with the ability to resize with a KeypadWidth property or when creating it new:

Dim kpd As New KeypadV2(300)

Phrog30:
Thank you sir.  I look forward to seeing it.
