Use the "Text Entry Object " and choose "Object Style " "Style 2 ". There are some caveats with this entry so make sure you check out the help file. ( Help file CM423)

I meant to post this earlier:
I am using a USB barcode scanner on an EA7 in (devices) USB port. Works well.
Just need to have a way to set focus to the entry object (touch or tag in Option tab) and either embed a carriage return in the barcode or touch the object after scanning.
