titleDescription

The Numeric Entry Field is similar to the standard Text Field, except that it is specialized for use with numbers. The formatting string to be applied to the input value. Options are currency, number, integer, four decimal precision, percent, scientific, accounting, financial, currency, currency (rounded), duration, abbreviation, or ordinal. When the 'enabled' property is set to true, it allows users to alter the value on the component. There are three different modes for how users can edit the value in the component: direct, protected or by clicking an edit button. To change the value, click once in the field for 'direct' mode, double click for 'protected' mode, and click on the Edit icon for the 'button' mode. When done, press enter or leave the field, and the field becomes editable again. When the 'enabled' property is false, the field is not editable even when it receives input focus.
