How the "enter" key in small keyboard works?

I create a string control and try to input a string ended with "enter". I can't use the "enter" key in small keyboard (right part of key board). Only the "enter" key in the main keyboard works. Why?

These two keys are interpreted differently in LabVIEW.

You can try a few things to get the behavior you want.

One is to set the control up to "limit to single line", this will allow both the Carriage Return and Numeric Enter keys to terminate the entry of text.

Good luck

Another thing that helps to control this is the Tools>>Options setting
for swapping the behavior of the two keys. Also, a Shift modified big
return key acts like the small key in most situations.
