The DecimalEdit component is a single-line editor of real numbers.
The DecimalEdit component is an analog of the FloatEdit component and is used to edit real numbers. Unlike FloatEdit, DecimalEdit allows to edit numbers with high precision of up to 18 digits after the separator. Precision is set in the Precision property. The step, by which the value is changed on pressing the UP or DOWN keys or buttons in the SPINUP/SPINDOWN component, is set in the StepSize property.
