This is might be a long shot, but what the heck.... Does anyone know if it is possible to modify the Numeric Input Scratchpad font size and color? I've read as much of the RSView ME manual as I can stomach and did some google searches, but came up empty. I can't seem to even find the graphic for the Scratchpad in any of the folders on my computers' C: drive. I'm guessing that this graphic is internal to the PV+ itself? Any help or comments appreciated.

I don't have ME in front of me.

I would be suprised if you can not select the item then right click and select its properties box which should I believe have font and font size as one of its properties.
 
Now I am not going to be a huge help here as I don't have ME in front of me either, but I seem to remember having the same issue a while back and I don't think you can alter the scratchpad settings I think it is a pre defined object and your stuck with the horrible ugly looking thing !!
I hope someone proves me wrong as I would love to change it for something more attractive than the "7 year old learning difficulty" look rockwell have gone for
 
danny072, I'm thinking that you are on the right track. I do wish that it could be modified though. Maybe someone else knows. I'm going to try Techconnect when I get into work tonight and I'll post what I find out.
 
Rockwell seems to go out of the way to incorporate only the most idiotic keypad entry systems in their products. The original Panelview was at least functional. FTView ME On a PanelView Plus terminal - you are stuck with the stock one, unless you really want to go through the hassle of rolling your own and coding most of it in the PLC.

FTView SE or ME/CE, you might be able to find an ActiveX control. For View SE, the downloadable "Numeric Input Control For RSView 32" works much better then the stock trash Rockwell keypad, unfortunately they never bothered to expand it to be a string input as well.
