# FunctionKey ActiveX control

The FunctionKey ActiveX control provides the system with the ability to send Function Key keystrokes to the keyboard buffer using tags when it is not possible to use the terminal keypad, for example, when the terminal is mounted within an explosion-proof panel.

Use the FunctionKey ActiveX control to:

- Send Fx function keys to the keyboard buffer on Windows desktops, and MobileView, PanelView Plus 7, and PanelView Plus 6 terminals
- Send Kx function keys to the keyboard buffer on MobileView, PanelView Plus 7, and PanelView Plus 6 terminals
- Debounce the tag connections to ensure only a single function key is sent each time when the FunctionKey ActiveX control is triggered
