Title: Using BasicLabel to display a Real Value = 0 shows nothing
Post by: scott.clark on October 30, 2015, 08:22:06 PM

I am using a basic label to display floating point values of the Real type.  If the value happens to be exactly 0, then nothing is displayed.  What can be done?

Thanks!

Do you have anything in NumericFormat? I just tested it with 0.1 and 0 in my PLC and I had values show in both cases.

I had "#.##" in the NumericFormat Property instead of "0.00"     

Does NumericFormat property do anything else in addition to the specifying the number of decimal places?

Thanks!

It is based on the ToString method. This web site gives a great amount of details on the formats that can be used:
