# Select string pop-up

To open the String Pop-up dialog box, from the Tools menus, select Options > String Pop-up.

Choose whether the string input enable object, the Login button and the Password button will show the string pop-up keyboard or the string pop-up character input at run time when running applications on Windows 7 SP1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2016 operating systems. The default selection when the dialog box first opens is the keyboard. When the dialog box is next opened, whatever choice was last made will persist.

When invoked from the string input enable object, the user can enter an alphanumeric string and write it to the object's Value control.

When invoked from the Login dialog box, the user can enter a user name (up to 275 alphanumeric characters) and a password (up to 127 characters), which will be returned to the Login dialog box to allow the user to log in.

When invoked from the Change Password dialog box, it allows the user to enter an old password, new password and confirmation password of up to 16 alphanumeric characters.
