Displaying Min/Max values on FTView SE E-Sig button

[phuz]

I'm really trying to test the limits of what SE can do with E-sig buttons for a customer. They want all the existing buttons converted to E-sig entry while retaining the current look & feel. Unfortunately, you can't change certain things. The E-sig entry allows for a Min/Max tag but does not display it on the entry form like a standard numeric entry does. You could hard-code it into the description for the button, but is there a way to display the variable limits? I'm thinking no.

Are you using FTV11? Because in 11 you can add E-Sign to the numeric input.

I played a litte bit with it, but its far from good.
If you enter a value out of range (it actually lets you enter a value out of range), the Diagnostic Audit trail message says that it wrote the value down to the tag, following by an error message that it couldnt write the the tag. The FDA will be happy with wrong audit trail messages
Secondly, if the confirmation E-Sign (for the numeric input) is open, and some event changes your screen (vba event), the whole application crashes. Thanks Rockwell.
Also, the E-Sign for the numeric input doesnt update the "previous value" if someone else changed it in another display. Again the audit message is therefore wrong. With the normal E-Sign this works correctly (updating the previous value constantly).

I would say, stick with the normal E-Sign. You can change the "Operation description" throught vba very easy, so that it automatically reads the limits and shows it. Ok, semi automatic, but better than completely hardcoded.
