Description

Gets the user num box number value.

Returns the number that appears in a num box user control that is specified by userControlID.

Num boxes are text boxes that restrict their input and output to numerical values. The number returned is a float, to accommodate both integer and floating point values. If createNumBox was created with the -flt flag, then all values will be interpreted as floats. Otherwise, values will be rounded down to the nearest integer (i.e. any decimal value will be truncated).
