Setting suffix for value range in code

[alexbk66]

Can somebody please explain how to properly add suffix to the display value (i.e. %) if the range has control (slider) and different icons (Status/Graphics) for sub-ranges?

I managed to make it work, but still confused and really it doesn't make much sense to me.

Where do I set the suffix? For the control (slider) or the Status/Graphics?

For the control (slider) I just set: Suffix = "%"

For Status/Graphics sub-ranges I set AdditionalData, it works, but in the device range configuration the Suffix is $%0$

statusGraphic.TargetRange.Suffix = HsFeature.GetAdditionalDataToken(0);
statusGraphic.HasAdditionalData = true;
AdditionalStatusData = new List<string>() { "%" };

As I said - it works, but I don't understand. What's the meaning of HasAdditionalData, especially for the control?

For the control (slider)	For Status/Graphics sub-ranges

AdditionalData is designed to be used as replacement tokens, so you should use it only if your suffix can change at runtime, for example a temperature device which could be either " °C" or " °F"

HS.UpdatePropertyByRef(dvRef, EProperty.AdditionalStatusData, new List<string>() { thermostat.Settings.UseCelsius ? " °C" : " °F" });

if your suffix is always "%", then do not use any AdditionalData and set the range suffix to "%" in your StatusControl and StatusGraphic

What's the meaning of AdditionalData for the Controls anyway? Doesn't it only apply to Status?

No it can apply to controls too. Imagine instead of a slider you use a dropdown list for a control that set a temperature, you may want your values in that dropdown list to appear as either " °C" or " °F"
