Example: Use a String Input Enable button

In this example, the String Input Enable button controls the address printed on a label. Pressing this button brings up a keyboard or scratchpad (depending on the string pop-up setting) that the operator can use to enter the new label address.

Create a String Input Enable button. Change the number of input characters to 22, and set the caption to "Set address."

Assign a string tag to the Value connection. When the operator presses the button, a keyboard or scratchpad pops up and the operator can enter a new address. The value that is entered becomes the value of the Value connection. The data source registers the value change and the label printer now prints this new address.
