[?]: Function for IO-Field change (Newbie`s question)

[BoozZzilla]

Task is to create a counter for passed parts, and i have no problem with realising it at PLC.
But there is an OP270, and i made a new screen for existing project at this panel.
When i tried to use Input/Output IO-Field at touch screen there was no problem - changing of this field starts when you touch it.
And which function can i use to change Input/Output IO-Field at this key panel?
Set_Value is setting preselected value, but i need a direct input.
Sorry for my crappy english and for so silly question, but i don`t know when i can ask it.

Sorry, it is hard to understand what you realy needed.
Try to be more specific.

i need a function to activate IO-Field(set focus on it), so i can input value with the keyboard in needed Field
i press first button - first field is focused
second - second field

Use TAB on keyboard
Previously TAB sequence has to be created as you needed.

This is my current solution, i`ve already did so (navigation with TAB, CursorUp/Down works too).
But you want to say that there is no such function to activate object that i need?

Hi BoozZzilla,

Maybe you can try this:
The function "ActivateScreen" has two parameters: Screen name and object number. Use the same screen with your io-field for the screen name and the number of your io-field which you want to have the focus on it for the object number.
You can get the number of your objects on a screen by activating tab sequence in "View".

Thanks a lot
Activate screen it`s exactly what i`ve been looking for.
