When inserting a negative value to Lock Hold Off the tool tip is:  
 ![lock](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/opentap/original/1X/ddb2ec53fd0ac4e16079e4ba64be6e9d421d9f7a.jpeg)

When inserting negative value at Lock Retries the error is:  
 ![retry](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/opentap/original/1X/ec5314299bc78ca0466fb1cc0fe426a6fd20d976.jpeg)

At other parameters like here is no error shown when inserting a negative value.  
Also here is no unit displayed like in the other fields.  
 ![negative](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/opentap/original/1X/d41b849011b94360007ac1fbea6b1693613c5c24.jpeg)

I prefer the first error message and always the same message for the same problem.  
(Not clear if everyone knows what is Uint32.)
