The lack of display precision has to do with the fact that you're  
using an FXDataTarget to update the value of the text field.

When the FXTextField sets its text from the double-precision float  
value that it gets from the FXDataTarget, it uses a fixed format like:

	sprintf(str, "%.*G", 6, value);

To use a custom formatting, you'd need to stop using FXDataTarget and  
instead use a combination of SEL_COMMAND and SEL_UPDATE, e.g.

	@value_value.connect(SEL_COMMAND) do
		@value = @value_value.text.to_f
	end

	@value_value.connect(SEL_UPDATE) do
		@value_value.text = @value.to_s # or however you want to format it
	end

Hope this helps,
