Is there a way to put a title on this dialog entry. If not can some one help me with a wrapper that would do it for me. I am struggling.

You’re going to have a very hard time doing this because the dialog is modal, meaning it interrupts everything else on the GUI thread. If anyone’s feeling intrepid, you would need to access the (`protected`) `parent` field of the [`NumericKeypadDialog`](http://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition79/795/com/inductiveautomation/factorypmi/application/components/touchscreen/NumericKeypadDialog.html) class
