Section 8-4
Opening/Closing a Window by Pressing a Touch Switch That Has the “Cursor Moving” Function
It is possible to give a “cursor moving key”, which is used to specify numeral or
character string input fields, the function of opening a window.
By this method, only the local window can be controlled.
In this method, a specific window (keyboard screen) can be opened at the same
time as a numeral or character string input field is specified by operation at the
NT31/NT31C.
When a cursor moving key is used, the window opens in the same manner as an
input key-window/keyboard function which has “open” action type.
