The variety of form element. Number Slider elements are type "NumberSlider".

Use the type property to find out the variety of a form element in a form with many elements. Loop through ${Display Form ID}.state, comparing each element to the known form types and performing some action on the elements that meet your type criteria.

To access the type property in an expression:

${Display Form ID}.state.{Element ID}.type

For example:

Type: NumberRef

An object of type NumberRef that represents the currently selected number. The object has a numeric property that is the number's value.

To access the value in an expression:

${Display Form ID}.state.{Element ID}.value.numeric

For example:

$form1.state.numberSlider1.value.numeric

The load event fires when the element finishes loading.

You can use the load event to set one or more of the element's properties at run time. For example, you could set the element's initial value.

The change event fires when the user moves the slider, clicks an arrow , or clicks away from the Number Slider box after changing the number in the box.

You can use the change event to create dependencies between form elements. For example, you could configure a change subworkflow that enables or disables other form elements depending on the user's selection.

The change event fires every time the user's selection changes by one Step Size. This means that the change subworkflow can run multiple times. Because of this, you should make sure that the change subworkflow is not computationally intensive or long running.
