Inputting from Command Buttons
1. In the string display and input property settings on the Keyboard Tab Page, set either Input from
pop-up screen or Other Input method (e.g., Command Button) as the input method.
2. Create a Command Button with a key button function on the same screen or pop-up screen.
3. If Input from pop-up screen has been specified, the specified pop-up screen will be displayed when
the string display and input object is pressed during operation. Command buttons inside the pop-up
screen are used to enter character strings.
4. If Other Input method (e.g., Command Button) is specified, strings are entered using the command
buttons in the same screen.
Command Button Settings
1. Set Key button under the Command Button property settings on the General Tab Page.
2. Set Transmit To.

mand Buttons.
Refer to Command Buttons in 2-9 Buttons for details on Command Button settings.
Moving Focus
In addition to moving the focus to a string display and input object by touching the screen, focus can
also be moved using Command Buttons.
Set a Key button for the Command Button to send a control code for moving the focus. Refer to Com-
mand Buttons in 2-9 Buttons for details on Command Button setting and control codes.
