> Hello everyone, For a project, I have a barcode and multiple numeric entry text fields on my screen. Currently, the barcode is entering the value into whatever numeric entry box I am in by clicking the mouse on it. However, I want to be able to choose the tag the barcode should enter a value in. The operator might not even have access to a screen or a mouse. I know that there is a way to do this in Ignition? (Both in vision and perspective) but not sure about it.

p.s; it is against forum etiquette to start multiple topics on the same subject.
