This element represents an Advanced Value Box. It allows you to display information for one or two Metasys items
(for example, zone temperature and zone temperature setpoint) and send commands to the items.

The Advanced Value Box element has the following runtime characteristics:
• It consists of one or two Inline Command Boxes. All functionality of the Inline Command Box applies to both the
primary and secondary bound item. For information about Inline Command Box functionality, see Inline Command
Box.
• If you specify a secondary binding, during runtime the left side of the value box contains the primary binding
information and the right side of the value box contains the secondary binding information. If you do not specify
a secondary binding, the Advanced Value Box contains only the primary binding information.
• If you configured units to display for the Advanced Value Box, the units appear on both sides of the two-value
display window.
• It displays in either the collapsed or expanded state, depending on how you configured the element. For example,
if you configured the element to appear collapsed, the element appears initially collapsed at runtime. When the
element is collapsed, it still displays the status color that corresponds to the status of the primary bound item.
• If you did not configure the Label Binding property, the string specified within the Label property appears. If you
configured the Label Binding property, the attribute value of the bound object appears.
• If the string that makes up the label is too long for the allotted space, the label is truncated with trailing ellipses.
• When you place your cursor over the label, a tooltip displays containing the full label string.
