[tomasz....@gmail.com]

Hi Psychopy Users,

I looking for some help with gui.Dlg. I would like to input e.g. text 20 characters long and have whole text displayed on the screen. When I use guy.Dlg I can see only 6 characters of the text. 

can I ask you for belt how to set the input window size.

regards,

tomasz

Hi Tomasz,

I think you are referring to the gui.Dlg.addField input box. There's
not a way to control its length directly. But you can control it
indirectly by giving an initial value that is the desired length (20),
with all spaces. You may need more than 20 spaces to allow display of
20 characters when using a proportional font.

d = gui.Dlg()
d.addField(label='larger input', initial=' ' * 20)
d.show()

Then you can do .strip() on the returned value to remove the trailing spaces.

Here's a way to adjust the code so that spaces are not needed--add a
fieldLength argument / parameter:
