How can I highlight the data entry location on my CMore? In other words, I select one numeric input location on the screen and the numeric keypad appears, with only the text "Numeric Entry " appearing on the user defined keypad. There is no way to tell which area is being edited on the HMI. I can't be sure I am changing data for the correct location. Is there a way to display the tagname for the numeric entry I am working with? Or, can I set the data being modified with a blinking foreground or background? Any thing that can indicate my data being edited will help. Prior to my current project with the C-More panel, I had been working predominantly with the Maple Systems HMI units. These are great units, and loaded with great features. But, I do like the tagbase sharing capability between the C-More and the DL series of CPU's. Thanks,

    Whatever label text you choose for the numeric entry object also appears on the pop-up keypad.
