Use the string pop-up keyboard
The string pop-up keyboard opens when the operator presses a String Input Enable button
or the User or Password button in the Login dialog box. The pop-up is also used with the
password button graphic object.
If the operator opens the pop-up keyboard by pressing a String Input Enable button, the
number of characters the keyboard accepts depends on how you set up the button.
When the keyboard is open, no other objects in the graphic display can accept input.
Use the string pop-up character input
You can use a string pop-up character input instead of the string pop-up keyboard. With
the string pop-up character input, you use the arrow keys to select the characters to input.
The string pop-up character input opens when the operator presses a String Input Enable
button or the User or Password button in the Login dialog box. The pop-up is also used
with the password button graphic object.
