NUMERIC

Displays an edit field with an optional spinner control (an up-down control) that accepts a numeric value. The value is set in the registry with the REG_DWORD type.

The NUMERIC part type accepts the following options:

• DEFAULT value. Specifies the initial numeric value for the edit field. If this option is not specified, the field is initially empty.
• MAX value. Specifies the maximum value for the number. The default value is 9999.
• MIN value. Specifies the minimum value for the number. The default value is 0.
• REQUIRED. Specifies that Group Policy will not allow a policy containing this part to be enabled unless a value has been entered for this part.
• SPIN value. Specifies increments to use for the spinner control.
• SPIN 0 removes the spinner control. SPIN 1 is the default.
• TXTCONVERT writes values as REG_SZ strings ("1," "2," or "128") rather than as binary values.

For example:

PART !!MyVariable	NUMERIC

VALUENAME ValueToBeChanged

END PART

The valid keywords for NUMERIC are:

• KEYNAME
• VALUENAME
• MIN
• MAX
• SPIN
• DEFAULT
• REQUIRED
• TXTCONVERT
• END
• CLIENTEXT

For example:

PART !!MyVariable	EDITTEXT EXPANDABLETEXT

For example:

PART !!MyVariable	EDITTEXT

DEFAULT !!MySampleText

VALUENAME ValueToBeChanged

END PART

or:

PART !!MyVariable	NUMERIC

DEFAULT 5

VALUENAME ValueToBeChanged

END PART

MIN/MAX

Specifies lowest and highest valid values.

For example:

PART !!MyVariable	NUMERIC

MIN 100 MAX 999 DEFAULT 55

VALUENAME ValueToBeChanged

END PART

For example:

PART !!MyVariable 	DROPDOWNLIST

  ITEMLIST

    NAME "First"	VALUE NUMERIC 1

    NAME "Second" VALUE NUMERIC 2

    NAME "Third"	VALUE NUMERIC 3

    NAME "Fourth" 	VALUE NUMERIC 4

  END ITEMLIST

END PART

ACTIONLIST

Optional action list to be used if this value is selected.

ACTIONLIST can be used only as part of an ITEMLIST. See the example in the ITEMLIST section.

Two variants of ACTIONLIST exist (ACTIONLISTON and ACTIONLISTOFF), and they may be used with the POLICY tag and the CHECKBOX tag. See the example in the CHECKBOX section.
