I have a popup window that has three text fields (catalog#, lot#, and serial#). I want to be able to fill all those fields at once upon scanning a barcode without the need to click into the text fields. Any ideas on how to do so? Anything is appreciated. (Ignition Version 8.0.10)

I recommend the barcode module from sepasoft.

Setting focus as you need may help.
