If the screen resolution is smaller than 124 pixels wide by 68 pixels high, the pop-up
scratchpad cannot open.

If the value is too large for the data type of the tag assigned to the Value connection,
the pop-up window remains open and the value is not written to the connection. The
scratchpad area changes to red to alert the operator of the error.

If the value is outside the minimum and maximum range specified for the object, the
pop-up window remains open and the value is not written to the connection. The
scratchpad area changes to red to alert the operator of the error.

If Enter key handshaking is still in effect, the pop-up window closes but the value is
not written to the connection.

Enter string values

The operator can enter string values at run time using the String Input Enable button.

When the operator presses the button, the string pop-up keyboard or scratchpad opens,
depending on how you set up the button. To use the scratchpad, a keyboard must be
attached to the run-time computer.

For information about setting up the String Input Enable button, see Help.
