International users unable to modify value properties

Issue

After adding a new control from the Controls menu, international users are unable to modify the Value properties for a Slider, or any control that uses the Value property sheet. This problem occurs only when creating a new control, not when copying or pasting a working control. The problem occurs because the Regional Options in the Windows Control Panel is set to use a comma as the decimal symbol.

Workaround

To avoid this problem, open the Regional Options in the Windows Control Panel and change the following settings on the Numbers tab. Change the Decimal Symbol to a period. Change the Digit Grouping Symbol to a comma.
