I am displaying a list of items on the C-More screen (Product Names). I wish to have the operator select one. These names will be in Dynamic text boxes so I can show more than just the 10 displayed with page up and down arrows. As far as I can tell there is no way for the screen to tell the plc which text box a user touches or edits so the plc can send the data for that product to the screen. Am I missing something? Is there a simple way to do this other than putting little buttons next to each line of my product table? Thanks Neil

Place a plain pushbutton behind the text box. Set the button color to the same as your background, and turn off the border.

Good idea. I will give that a try. I did not think the button would still work if the Dynamic text is over top of it.
