Popup vs. Fixed Keypad:
-. Popup Type: The keypad appears only when data entry is needed. This is ideal for screens with limited space.
-. Fixed Type: The keypad remains visible on the screen at all times. This may be preferred when screen space is sufficient or when popup behavior is not desired.
To use a fixed keypad:
1) Add the desired keypad screen using [Add Library Tenkey].
2) Copy the keypad from the newly added window.
3) Paste it directly into the Base Screen where it should always be displayed.
