# Graphical Panel Controls: Text Display

Text Display boxes are output controls that can be configured to show static text for labeling items, or dynamic text showing signal values. Figure 1 shows examples of conventional text and group box controls (see below for more details).

Table 1 lists the properties specific to a Text Display control. A list of common properties can be found under [Common Control Properties](/vspy-3-documentation/vehicle-spy-main-menus/main-menu-measurement/graphical-panels/graphical-panels-tools/graphical-panel-controls-common-control-properties.md).

**Table 1: Text Display Control Properties**

| Property     | Function and options                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| BorderStyle  | Text Display controls have an additional **BorderStyle** property value, beyond those described under [Common Control](/vspy-3-documentation/vehicle-spy-main-menus/main-menu-measurement/graphical-panels/graphical-panels-tools/graphical-panel-controls-common-control-properties.md) Properties: **5-GroupBox**. When selected, this specifies that the control defines a box that can be used to group other controls, as shown in Figure 1. |
| LCD Digits   | Enables LCD mode. A value of 0 causes the control to display text in its default manner; a larger value switches the control to show numbers in a LCD type view; see "123" in Figure 1 for an example.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| LCD Decimals | Specifies the number of digits to show after the decimal point.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
